Casino Azul Extra Anejo
Casino Azul Extra Anejo is a 750mL extra anejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV, made from 100% blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico and aged at least three years in oak barrels — the legal floor of the extra anejo class, and the longest-aged expression in the house's standard range. That extended rest trades the blanco's bright agave snap for caramel, dark chocolate and toasted oak depth. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Long Rest at the Top of the Range
Extra anejo is tequila's summit category: the spirit must spend a minimum of three years in oak, long enough for the barrel to stop seasoning the agave and start conversing with it. Casino Azul's Extra Anejo is the expression the house builds toward — the same 100% blue Weber agave as the rest of the range, given the years it needs to pick up dark chocolate, dried fruit and spice from the wood while the agave sweetness holds underneath.

Tasting Notes
Retailer notes for this expression describe caramel and dark chocolate over toasted oak, with dried fruit and warm spice through a long, velvety finish — the profile of an agave spirit that has spent real time in wood without losing its sweet core.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a stemmed glass, given a few minutes to open — extra anejo is a sipping tequila, closer in ritual to a fine cognac than to a shot. A single large cube is as much dilution as it needs. More after-dinner pours are in our spirits collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Casino Azul Extra Anejo aged?
At least three years in oak barrels — the minimum for the extra anejo classification. Longer retailer claims for this bottling could not be verified against a producer source, so the draft states the verified floor.
What is the difference between anejo and extra anejo?
Anejo tequila ages at least one year in oak; extra anejo ages at least three. The extra years bring darker colour, more oak character and notes like caramel, chocolate and dried fruit.
Is Casino Azul Extra Anejo 100% agave?
Yes — it is made from 100% blue Weber agave, as is the whole Casino Azul range.
