Deleon Anejo Tequila
Deleon Anejo Tequila is a 750mL anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% highland blue Weber agave from the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. It is aged over a year — first in American oak, then finished in French oak wine casks, the house's signature marriage of tequila craft and French winemaking — and cut to the Corazon, the heart of the distillation.

An Anejo Finished in French Wine Casks
Where most anejos stop at American oak, DeLeon takes its aged tequila a step further: after more than a year in American oak it is finished in French oak wine casks, layering toasted vanilla and dried fruit over the highland agave's natural sweetness. It is the deepest expression of the house's core range. Explore the house on the Deleon vendor page, or browse our spirits collection.
