What is Extra Añejo Tequila?
Extra Añejo Tequila, also known as extra aged tequila, is a premium category of tequila. It's distinguished by its extended aging period.
This extended aging process imparts a depth and complexity to the tequila. It results in a spirit that's rich in flavour, with a smooth, refined finish.
A government regulatory body called the Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT) sets the standards for tequila production in Mexico. They ensure that Extra Añejo Tequila meets the strict criteria for legal classification. The minimum aging requirement for Extra Añejo is three years. This aging takes place in government-sealed barrels, often made of oak.
Extra Añejo Tequila is a testament to the craftsmanship and patience involved in producing high-quality spirits.
