Twenty Months in White Oak
The añejo is the range's patient expression: 20 months in white oak barrels — French white oak, per the brand's tasting notes — dresses the Valley agave in elegance and aroma. The wood brings sweet toffee and depth; the agave answers with herbs and intensity. It is a sipping añejo tequila that earned its golden color honestly.
Tasting Notes
Sweet toffee aromas mixed with touches of toasted agave on the nose. The palate shows herbal nuances with an intense agave flavor — vanilla, caramel, and soft oak framing the spirit's vegetal core — with a long, warm, golden finish.
How to Enjoy
On the rocks, per the brand's own recommendation — a large cube opens the toffee and agave without dulling them. It is a natural after-dinner pour and pairs well with dark chocolate or a slow evening.
