We slowly age our Añejo tequila in American oak ex-bourbon barrels for two to three years. This aging process imparts a stronger influence of oak but still allows the spirit to maintain the complexion of agave. You’ll taste a hint of maple sweetness with notes of red fruit acidity, vanilla and caramel.

This tequila would be perfect with some pancakes because it has nice acidity of red fruits as well as nice vanilla and maple elements.
