Casa Maestri
Añejo Tequila Reserva

Category: Añejo Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of caramel-scented candle, cedar sock drawer, dried pineapple and papaya, and bacon fat with a supple, soft, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a tingling, carefree finish that shows notes of coffee ice cream and spiced dried fruits. A somewhat odd and waxy añejo for creative cocktail play.

Anejo Tequila

Añejo ("old") Tequila is aged in wooden barrels (usually old Bourbon barrels) for a minimum of 12 months. The best-quality añejos are aged 18 months to three years Beyond three years they can be called extra añejo.

Aging takes place in barrels formerly used to mature bourbon and rarely Cognac. Those aged in the latter vessels have more of a mellow edge, with aromas ranging from vanilla to tobacco, while those aged in former bourbon barrels often have notes of dill and coconut from the American oak. Añejo tequilas should be sipped neat, after dinner in a copita or snifter and perhaps enjoyed with a cigar.
