Extra Añejo & Cristalino

About

Extra Añejo is tequila at its most mature. After at least three years in oak, the spirit turns deep amber with a velvet texture and layered notes of oak, caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and gentle spice. It invites slow sipping, neat or over a single block of clear ice.

What Is Extra Añejo Tequila Established as an official category by the CRT in 2006, Extra Añejo must age a minimum of three years in oak barrels. Extended ageing deepens colour and complexity, weaving oak spice, vanilla and caramel over a core of cooked agave. It sits above añejo in maturity and richness. How It Tastes Expect a rich, polished profile with aromas of oak, vanilla and dried fruit. The palate is smooth and concentrated with caramel, cocoa, tobacco like spice and roasted agave, finishing long and elegant. How It Is Made Production begins with mature blue Weber agave that is cooked, crushed and fermented. Distillation in copper pot or column stills concentrates flavour before ageing for three years or more in barrels such as ex bourbon, American oak or French oak. Some labels use cask finishes for added nuance, or filter to create cristalino style expressions.
