Eighteen Months in French Oak
Where the Razones Extra Anejo leans on American oak and time, the Anejo takes the French-oak route: 18 months in French white oak, a tighter-grained wood that seasons the spirit with a finer, more elegant woody register while the aromas stay intense and balanced. See the whole range on the Razones vendor page, step up to the Razones Extra Anejo for the four-year pour, or browse more anejo tequila.

Colour: Golden. Nose and palate: Intense, balanced aromas and flavours with an elegant woody character from the French oak. Finish: Smooth and rounded, oak and agave in step.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over one large cube. It also stands up in spirit-forward cocktails — try it in place of the reposado in a Tequila Old Fashioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Razones Anejo aged? 18 months in French white oak barrels, per consistent retailer listings — comfortably inside the one-to-three-year anejo class.
What is the difference between anejo and extra anejo? Anejo rests one to three years in oak; extra anejo rests three years or more. This anejo's 18 months keep more bright agave in the glass than the longer-aged extra anejo.
Does French oak change the flavour? Yes — French oak's tighter grain typically gives a finer, spicier wood note than American oak, which is why this anejo reads elegant rather than bold.
