Luna Llena Anejo Tequila
Luna Llena Anejo Tequila is the top of the range from ORfarms in Amatitan, Jalisco: the same 100% blue agave spirit as the Blanco — slow-cooked, naturally fermented with open-air yeasts, double distilled — then aged for over a year in oak barrels until it turns dark, rich and layered. Bottled at 80 proof under the black full-moon label, it is available to order online from Del Mesa Liquor's tequila collection.

The Story
Luna Llena — "full moon" — is crafted under the Mexican moon in Amatitan, where ORfarms insists on the slow route at every step: low-and-slow agave cooking, open-air natural fermentation, and meticulous double distillation. The Anejo then waits. More than a year in oak transforms the bold blanco into something darker and richer, a true celebration of patience and craft. If you want the full arc of the house, start with the unaged Luna Llena Blanco Tequila and the barrel-rested Luna Llena Reposado Tequila before arriving here.
Tasting Notes
The extended aging shows in layers of caramel and vanilla with warming spice over the cooked-agave foundation. Dark and smooth, it drinks like a sipping spirit in the whiskey sense — complex, rounded and built to be lingered over.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat in a proper glass and give it a few minutes to open, or serve it over a single large cube. This is an after-dinner tequila — treat it like a fine cognac or bourbon and sip it slowly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Luna Llena Anejo aged?
Over one year in oak barrels, per the producer — comfortably past the one-year minimum the anejo class requires.
Is Luna Llena Anejo 100% agave?
Yes, 100% blue agave (agave azul), like every expression in the Luna Llena line.
How is the Anejo different from the Reposado?
Time. The Reposado rests in American oak for a shorter period and keeps more bright agave up front; the Anejo's year-plus in oak brings deeper caramel, vanilla and spice and a darker, richer profile.
When only the longest-aged pour will do, Luna Llena Anejo is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
