A Highland Añejo with 250 Years Behind It
Los Altos agave is the fruity, floral side of tequila country, and a year in new American oak gives Camarena's añejo its structure: the brand's official sell sheet describes cooked sweet potato with toasted oak on the nose, cooked sweet potato layered with toasted oak and vanilla on the palate, and a naturally smooth, warm finish "without the burn." It's an añejo built for sipping — and for the price, one of the more honest oak-aged values from the Highlands. Explore more tequila and añejo tequila, or shop the Camarena line at Del Mesa.
