Alquimia Anejo Tequila
Alquimia Anejo Tequila is a 40% ABV 100% agave añejo aged just under three years in white oak barrels — about as long as an añejo can legally rest before tipping into extra añejo territory. It starts with founder Dr. Adolfo Murillo's USDA-certified-organic, single-estate blue Weber agave from the Highlands of Jalisco: stone and brick oven cooking, roller-mill crushing, stainless steel fermentation, and double distillation in stainless pot stills with a copper coil. Nearly three years in white oak layers caramel, fruit, mild vanilla, and spice over the agave's floral-earthy core, with a long, lingering finish. This 750mL bottle is the brand's slow-sipping middle child between the bright Reposado and the deep Extra Añejos. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Nearly Three Years of Patience
There's a meaningful difference between a one-year añejo and one that sat just shy of three: the oak stops being a seasoning and becomes part of the spirit's architecture. Alquimia's Añejo shows it — the caramel and vanilla are fully integrated, the fruit is dried and deep, and the finish stretches long with moderate agave, earth, and floral tones. The brand suggests a cognac snifter, and it's the right call: this is a pour to hold and warm in the hand. It bridges the lineup beautifully — richer than the Reposado, more agave-forward than the 6 and 14-year Extra Añejos. Taste the range in our tequila collection or explore Alquimia.
Tasting Notes
Nose: caramel and mild vanilla over cooked agave. Palate: fruit, caramel, mild vanilla, and gentle spice — full and rounded. Finish: long and pleasant, with moderate agave, earth, and floral tones.
How to Enjoy
Sipped neat from a cognac snifter at room temperature. Its depth also elevates an Añejo Old Fashioned or a slow, spirit-forward tequila cocktail.
