Four Years Flirting with Whiskey
Tepozán's extra añejo starts as estate agave and ends somewhere near bourbon: four full years in ex-bourbon barrels layer salted caramel, toasted coconut, and café de olla over roasted agave — the kind of pour that converts whiskey drinkers. Everything happens on Padilla's own estate, from the agave fields of San Julián to the volcanic-filtered well water. Explore the Tepozan range and our extra añejo tequilas.
Tasting Notes
Bourbon-laced oak, cooked agave, toasted coconut, and soft leather on the nose. The palate is richly roasted agave with salted caramel and warm baking spices in a full mouthfeel; the finish is long, lasting, and creamy with gentle sweetness — others note tobacco, dark chocolate, raisins, and roasted nuts.
How to Enjoy
Neat, at room temperature, in a copita or Glencairn — this is a sipping extra añejo, not a mixer. Pairs with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, and a quiet evening.
