Explore the Rich, Rested Flavors of Añejo Tequila at Country Wine & Spirits. Añejo means "aged" in Spanish-and that's exactly what sets this tequila apart. Aged in oak barrels for at least one year, but less than three, Añejo Tequila offers a perfect balance of bold agave character and mellow, barrel-aged complexity. It's the ideal middle ground between youthful reposados and ultra-aged extra añejos.
Thanks to its time in oak, Añejo develops a layered, refined taste that appeals to both tequila aficionados and whiskey lovers. Expect flavors such as:
Caramelized agave and vanilla
Toffee, dried fruits, and cocoa
Subtle oak and baking spices
The aging process softens the spirit, resulting in a rich, smooth finish that lingers with warmth and elegance.
Refined Flavor - A harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and oaky notes
Sipping-Grade Smoothness - Perfect neat, on the rocks, or with a citrus twist
Versatile Yet Elevated - Classy enough for celebrations, smooth enough for everyday indulgence
Great for Gifting - Añejo Tequilas are a go-to for impressive gifts and toasts
Añejo bridges the gap between accessibility and luxury, offering complexity without overwhelming the palate.
At Country Wine & Spirits, we bring together a premium selection of Añejo Tequilas from Mexico's most revered distilleries. From smooth and silky to bold and spicy, our collection caters to every taste preference and occasion.
If you enjoy deeper, more mature spirits-but still want the bright soul of agave-Añejo Tequila is your perfect pour. Explore our selection today and find your new favorite.
Añejo tequila differs from Reposado and Extra Anejo in that it is aged for a minimum of one year and up to three years. Añejo is also typically more suited to sipping, as it is aged for a longer period of time, resulting in more intense flavor development. Anejo is known for its deep golden color and silky mouthfeel and rich flavors of vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch.
Añejo is more suited to smooth sipping than shot-taking. Additionally, it's typically more on the expensive side and would be more of a waste of money and quality as a shot.
Though typically consumed on its own, Añejo is a wonderful stand-in choice for whiskey. It's rich complexities and smooth mouthfeel make for a wonderful swap-out such as in a tequila old-fashioned. Additionally, it is definitely a perfect choice for upgrading any beloved tequila-based drink.
Anejo tequila is best consumed at room temperature from a wider vessel such as a wine glass or champagne flute. To enjoy its range of flavor, it's best to swish it around for ten to fifteen seconds after each sip. The act of sipping it slowly allows for the consumer to get intouch with the deep flavors and how they all work together. Anejo can also be enjoyed on the rocks, with a bit of lime or orange as a garnish.
Many popular extra anejo tequila comes from well-known brands such as José Cuervo, Hornitos, Patrón, Don Ramon and Don Julio. Though pricier than younger tequila, these brands offer a more affordable way to enjoy this premium-aged spirit. Each has a deep amber color and offers rich notes of butterscotch, cooked agave, toasted oak, and creamy vanilla. Looking for a more expensive, artisanal Anejo? Try anejo tequila from Clase Azul, José Cuervo Reserva, or Casa Dragones.
