Tasting Notes: One whiff confirms the luscious benefits of long aging in American oak. Soft aromas of roasted agave, clean vanilla, rich caramel, and smoked nuts merge in a pleasing harmony. The experience begins with a decadently rich mouthfeel that’s velvety smooth. Long barrel aging mellows the character of the roasted agave, bringing out hints of cooked caramel, dried fruits, and coffee for a finely nuanced complexity. The finish is persistent and long, with depths of toasty sweet flavors. The luscious mouthfeel lingers on and on.

Food Pairings: This decadently rich Añejo calls for a sweet pairing of chocolate, flan or bread pudding.
