Hornitos Añejo Reserve Tequila – Aged Mexican Añejo Tequila
Hornitos Añejo Reserve Tequila is a premium aged expression from Hornitos — one of Mexico's most celebrated tequila brands, known for pioneering the use of 100% Blue Weber Agave and helping define the modern premium tequila category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an añejo tequila?
Añejo (meaning "aged" or "vintage" in Spanish) is a category of tequila that has been aged in oak barrels for a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years. The oak aging imparts caramel, vanilla, and spice character while softening the agave's natural intensity — producing a smoother, more complex tequila that is ideal for sipping neat or in premium cocktails.
How does Hornitos Añejo differ from Hornitos Reposado?
Reposado tequila is aged for a minimum of 2 months and up to 1 year — lighter in oak influence with more vibrant agave character. Añejo is aged for at least 1 year, developing a richer, more complex oak character with deeper caramel and vanilla notes. The Hornitos Añejo Reserve is the more refined and sophisticated of the two.
