Tres Generaciones 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Anejo Tequila
Tres Generaciones 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Anejo Tequila is a 90-proof (45% ABV) 750mL limited-edition añejo — the brand's first prestige tequila, created for its 50th anniversary in 2023 from founder Don Francisco Javier Sauza's original 1973 añejo recipe, rumored to be the first añejo tequila ever produced. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, double distilled in copper pot stills, and aged 14 months in seven-year-old American White Oak barrels treated with an in-house charring process. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Fifty Years, One Original Recipe
The Sauza family has distilled in Tequila since 1873, and Tres Generaciones honors three generations of it — the 50th Anniversary edition reaches back to the brand's 1973 debut bottle, the third entry in the Legacy Edition Series after the Cenobio's Batch Plata and La Colonial Reposado. At 45% ABV it is bottled bolder than the core line, with the double distillation keeping the agave character forward. See the Tres Generaciones collection and more premium tequilas at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber with an oaky-vanilla nose; the palate follows with vanilla, red fruit, and cinnamon over cooked agave, finishing with a mint-chocolate note from the charred oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita or Glencairn — this is a prestige sipping añejo. A large-format cube opens it for a special-occasion pour.
