Pueblo Viejo Anejo Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Añejo: 18 months in American white oak | NOM 1103, Los Altos, Jalisco — Pueblo Viejo Añejo is an 18-month oak-aged tequila — six months past the añejo legal minimum — from Casa San Matías, the Los Altos distillery founded in 1886 that also makes the premium Orgullo line.
Made from estate-grown 100% Blue Weber agave with piñas slow-roasted in traditional stone ovens, this is Pueblo Viejo's traditional highland tier: soft amber with vanilla, toasted almonds, chamomile, ripe orange, and peach on the nose, and a palate of sweet oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, and roasted almonds leading into a long dried-fruit finish. A genuine old-house añejo at a workingman's price — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
