Zach's Anejo Picks

Don Julio 70® Añejo Claro Tequila is the culmination of 70 years of knowledge, expertise and innovation. Don Julio 70® Añejo Claro Tequila is aged eighteen months in American white-oak barrels and then carefully filtered to bring out its crisp agave flavor.

Barrel aged in smaller batches for eighteen months in American white-oak barrels, Don Julio® Añejo Tequila is a testament to the craft of making a superior tasting, aged tequila.

Rich, distinctive and wonderfully complex, its flavor strikes the perfect balance between agave, wood and hints of vanilla. Best experienced neat in a snifter or simply on the rocks.

Description

You won’t find any compromises in the design of the unusual “Padre azul” bottle. Only the best is good enough for Padre azul, outside and in. The handmade bottle is inspired by Mexican heritage and culture. One important aspect of Mexican culture that fascinated Austrian HP Eder and his compadres was how much tradition and relationships with family and friends were valued, and he wanted to capture that on the bottle.

Padre Azul Añejo Tequila is matured in hand-selected oak bourbon barrels for at least 18 months. The additional oak influence gives this premium tequila complex flavors such as cinnamon, chocolate and caramelized nuts.

Tequila Ocho Tequila Anejo Single Estate:

I like this tequila for many reasons but the biggest reason is its Mexican taste profile. This is not for someone who likes sweet tequila like a class Azul it is more for the person who wants to enjoy a nice oaky spirit by the fire at night. This brand is up and coming so keep an eye out for more of these guys.
