The Middle Rung from Amatitan
Between the triple-distilled brightness of the Blanco and the five-year depth of the Extra Anejo, the Nicho Real Anejo takes the classic anejo path: more than a year in oak at the Amatitan distillery behind NOM 1459, long enough to toast the edges of the agave without burying it.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Cooked agave with spice and floral notes. Palate: Smooth cooked agave, toasted oak and dried fruit. Finish: Creamy and lingering.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to open the oak. It is also the right weight for a Tequila Old Fashioned — spirit-forward, with the agave still audible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Nicho Real Anejo made? At Tequila Selecto de Amatitan, NOM 1459, in Amatitan, Jalisco — the NOM is transcribed from this product's label by a specialist retailer.
How long is it aged? Over 12 months in oak, within the one-to-three-year anejo class; sources differ on the exact figure, so the listing states the verified floor rather than a specific year count.
How does anejo differ from reposado? Time: reposado rests 2–12 months, anejo rests 1–3 years, so an anejo pours darker, softer and more oak-influenced than its reposado sibling.
