Atanasio Anejo Tequila
Atanasio Anejo Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 100% Blue Weber agave añejo rested 13 months in oak at the Landeros family's NOM 1599 distillery in San Pedro de los Landeros, Jalisco. Cooked in an autoclave, fermented with wild ambient yeast, and double-distilled in stainless pot stills with no additives start to finish, it pours dark copper — a small-batch, traditionalist añejo where the agave survives the oak. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Thirteen Months, No Shortcuts
The Landeros family distillery behind Atanasio works the way Jalisco's old school does: Blue Weber agave from the valley, autoclave cooking, fermentation in open stainless tanks with the ambient yeast of the place, and two passes through stainless pot stills — never additives, never shortcuts. The añejo rests 13 months, and reviewers consistently note that the agave still leads. It is part of our Atanasio lineup and a standout in the añejo tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Dark copper with silky legs. Strong wood on the nose with black pepper, dried fruit, and light butter. Wood leads the palate — vanilla, berries, caramel, a candy-sweet highlight — while agave and honey hold the center.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature in a Riedel tequila glass or copita. Its caramel-and-oak weight also anchors a añejo Old Fashioned better than most — or pair it with dark chocolate and dried fig.
