Kate del Castillo's Anejo
Tequila Honor is the brand actress Kate del Castillo lends her name and image to, produced in partnership with fourth-generation Arandas agave growers. Its range speaks in intentions — Reflexion the blanco, Afilado the reposado, Afirmacion the anejo — and Afirmacion is the statement aged pour: a limited edition blended barrel by barrel from small 200-litre white oak, presented in a crystal decanter. The brand reports a Double Gold at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition for it. Find it with our anejo tequilas, or see the range on the Tequila Honor vendor page.

How to Enjoy
Neat in a stemmed glass, slowly — this is the range's contemplative pour, and the decanter keeps it that way on the shelf.
