Selected by master distiller Enrique Fonseca of Tequileña (NOM 1146, Atotonilco El Alto), this Añejo is a true expression of craft and terroir. It begins with 2–3 years in French oak Cabernet Franc barrels (Loire Valley), then finishes in toasted American white oak barrels that previously held Canadian or Tennessee rye whiskey. Bottled at 41.3 % ABV, this additive-free tequila delivers remarkable depth and balance.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Rich amber with warm, toasted hues.
Nose: Buttery butterscotch and caramel intertwine with vanilla, baking spices, citrus peel, and a touch of oak.
Palate: Velvety and indulgent, offering toffee, walnut candy, custard, dark chocolate, pecan pie, orange zest, and cooked agave.
Finish: Long, satisfying, and slightly dry—with lingering oak spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sweet agave warmth.
Serving Suggestions: Beautiful sipped neat or with a single ice cube to gently unfurl its rich spice and agave. Also a sublime base for premium cocktails like an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Añejo Sour.
Technical Details:

Why It Stands Out:
Complex multi-cask ageing brings layered oak, spice, fruit and sugar-candy richness.
Artistic curation by a fifth-generation Tequileño, showcasing Joyful precision and tradition.
Versatile appeal: hearty enough for whisky lovers, while upholding true agave sweetness.
