Corazón Añejo Tequila 700ml 40%

Sixteen to eighteen months on, and the agave still leads.

• Volume: 700ml
• ABV: 40%
• Origin: Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico
• Style: Tequila Añejo, 100% blue Weber agave
• Age: Aged 16 to 18 months in American oak
• Release: Core range

The añejo takes the same single estate spirit through sixteen to eighteen months in American oak. It sits at the agave-forward end of the añejo category — deeper and darker than the reposado, but green and savoury rather than sweet and mellow.

What it delivers

• A deeper hue from the extended time in oak
• Bolder butterscotch on the nose over cooked agave
• Caramel, vanilla and light baking spice through the palate
• White pepper and a fruity note of red berries and citrus late

Why it matters

• Aged well beyond the twelve-month minimum for the añejo class
• Single estate — agave to bottle at Casa San Matías
• One for drinkers who want agave character to survive the barrel
• Hand-harvested highland agave, slow cooked and double distilled
