Aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels, Extra Añejo tequilas offer a complexity comparable to fine Bourbon or Cognac. Explore our collection of ultra-aged spirits featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.
---Introduced as an official category by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT) in 2006, Extra Añejo represents the absolute pinnacle of tequila aging. To qualify for this prestigious label, the spirit must be aged in oak barrels with a maximum capacity of 600 liters for a minimum of three years. This extended contact with wood transforms the vibrant agave spirit into a complex, dark, and sophisticated masterpiece often compared to fine Cognac or aged Scotch.
While Blanco tequila captures the raw essence of the Blue Weber Agave, Extra Añejo is a study in patience. During the three-plus years spent in the barrel—often charred French or American oak—the tequila undergoes a dramatic transformation. The "Angel’s Share" (evaporation) concentrates the sugars, while the wood imparts deep amber hues and rich textures.
When you pour a glass of premium Extra Añejo, look for these characteristic profiles:
Aroma: Rich toasted oak, dark chocolate, and dried fruits.
Palate: Layers of cooked agave balanced by butterscotch, vanilla bean, and cinnamon.
Finish: A long, silky, and warming finish with lingering notes of tobacco or leather.
Because of its complexity and price point, we recommend enjoying Extra Añejo neat in a tulip-shaped glass or a Glencairn whiskey glass. This allows the aromas to concentrate at the rim. While younger tequilas excel in margaritas, an Extra Añejo is meant to be sipped slowly at room temperature to appreciate the craft of the Master Distiller.
