The Quintanilla Family's Aged Expression
Los Azulejos began with Pedro Quintanilla and a family that grew agave in Jalisco and made tequila for its own hacienda table; the name honours the hand-painted Talavera tiles of those haciendas. The anejo is the line's patient pour — the same NOM 1438 Casa Maestri production as the reposado, brick-oven cooking and double distillation, then a year or more in oak until the barrel's vanilla, raisin and caramel settle into the agave. Taste it against the younger Los Azulejos Reposado, visit the Los Azulejos vendor page, or explore more aged expressions on the tequila shelf.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Medium oak, vanilla and raisin with faint citrus and roasted agave. Palate: Smooth and sweet — oak, vanilla, raisin, honey and melon, with the line's chocolate, orange and sugar-cookie notes behind them. Finish: Long and sweet, caramel with a lightly smoky edge.
How to Enjoy
Neat, at room temperature, in a glass with room to breathe — an anejo of this sweetness needs no ice and no mixer. Give it five minutes after pouring before the first sip.
