Riazul Anejo Tequila

Aged two years in French Oak barrels previously cured with XO Cognac, Riazul Anejo Tequila is a dessert-like sipper that earned 96 points from Wine Enthusiast for good reason.

Produced at Compania Tequilera de Arandas under NOM 1460 in the highland town of Arandas, Jalisco, this anejo draws on the region's rich volcanic soils and cool elevation to yield agave of exceptional sweetness and depth, which the extended French Oak maturation then rounds into something truly refined.

• Nose: Vanilla, caramel, baking spices, dried fruits, and a soft undercurrent of cooked agave
• Palate: Cinnamon sugar toast, vanilla, and caramel give way to warm oak and a gentle prickle of black pepper
• Finish: Long and warm with a lingering butterscotch sweetness that invites another sip

Riazul Anejo shines on its own over a large ice cube, but its caramel and spice profile also makes it a natural fit for an Old Fashioned or a Tequila Manhattan.

Best served neat or on the rocks to let the cognac-cask complexity fully unfold. Crafted from blue agave in the highlands of Arandas, Jalisco.
