A Guanajuato Añejo in a Liter Bottle
Quita Penas — "takes away sorrows" — delivers serious añejo character without the premium markup: over a year in oak builds caramel, vanilla and toasted oak over estate agave, and the liter format stretches it across many quiet evenings. Note the provenance correction: this is a Guanajuato tequila from the Corralejo distillery, not Jalisco. Explore more añejo tequilas at Del Mesa Liquor, or see the rest of the Quita Penas line.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Vanilla, caramel, oak, dried fruit, spice and a whisper of leather. Palate: Silky caramel and vanilla up front, dried fruit, roasted nuts and toasted oak, chocolate and coffee toward the finish. Finish: Long, smooth, memorably complex.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with one cube — a liter of 12-month añejo also makes an excellent house bottle for añejo cocktails and gifting.
