About Añejo

Añejo tequila is tequila aged in oak barrels for at least one year and less than three, which gives it an amber color and a smoother taste. The aging is what sets it apart from blanco, which is unaged, and reposado, which rests for a shorter time. Añejo usually shows vanilla, caramel and baking spice next to the agave, so it suits sipping neat or over a large ice cube more than mixing with soda. To choose one, look for the word 100% agave on the label, then compare the age statement and the notes each producer describes. The bottles shown here are what is in now, and you can get them by pickup, delivery or shipping at checkout from CBC Liquors in Westford.
