One of the most accessible yet highly regarded añejo tequilas, Tapatío Añejo delivers remarkable depth and complexity. Rich notes of caramel, candied apple, vanilla and a touch of maple syrup come together to create a beautifully balanced expression.
Aged for 18 months in ex-Bourbon barrels, the tequila is left to rest and mature, allowing the flavours to develop and harmonise over time. During the ageing process, water is carefully added to achieve the desired balance and consistency before the spirit is bottled at 38% ABV.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich and spicy, but rounded. The time in a cask has sanded the sharper edges off the agave, leaving fruit and a more subtle and refined flavour. It’s also picked up creamy notes as well as a hint of vanilla sweetness.
Palate
Comparatively weighty, but still elegant. It’s soft, with nutmeg, cinnamon and clove balanced against the agave pepperiness, and complemented by sweet fruit and cocoa richness.
Finish
Long and spicy, with herbal notes developing and fading to a chocolate-led end.
Comment
Very moreish, thanks to the softening effect of the casks. Everything is much more integrated, combining complexity and an easy-drinking character.
