The Mazahua Edition: 25 Months in American Whiskey Oak
The Anejo's decanter carries the spiral and four-petaled flower symbolism of the Mazahua people, painted by hand in Santa Maria Canchesda — the brand describes the process as taking up to eleven days per piece, finished with 24-carat gold brushwork — and the liquid inside gets 25 months in American whiskey casks, well past the one-year anejo minimum. Agave is slow-cooked in traditional ovens and fermented with the house's proprietary yeast before double distillation in copper.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: amber with copper highlights and a full body; aromas of toffee, cinnamon, clove, roasted hazelnut, Mexican vanilla, orange marmalade, quince, and toasted oak; flavors of nutmeg, clove, orange marmalade, and toasted oak with a silky mouthfeel and a long, silky finish.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat and give it a few minutes in the glass — the orange marmalade and toasted oak open slowly. It also stands up to a single large cube. More anejos are in our tequila collection.
