Tapatio Tequila Añejo

1L & 80 Proof

Tapatio Tequila Añejo is a Tequila from the Tapatio Tequila brand hailing from Mexico.

What is Tapatio Tequila Añejo?

Tapatio Tequila Añejo offers a rich, complex flavor profile that showcases the best of traditional tequila-making methods. What's particularly intriguing about this spirit is that it's aged for 18 months in ex-bourbon barrels, which is six months longer than the minimum required for añejo tequilas, resulting in a deeper, more nuanced taste experience.

Why do we love Tapatio Tequila Añejo?

Tapatio Tequila Añejo stands out for its exceptional value, offering a high-quality, estate-grown, 100% agave tequila aged for 18 months at a surprisingly affordable price point. What truly sets it apart is the use of traditional tahona stone-grinding for a portion of the agave, lending a complex, old-world character to this smooth sipper that punches well above its weight class.

How do you drink Tapatio Tequila Añejo?

Tapatio Tequila Añejo shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its rich flavors of oak, vanilla, and caramel to unfold on the palate. This smooth spirit also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Manhattans, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats or spicy Mexican dishes, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or cozy fall gatherings.

Nose: Oak and vanilla dominate, supported by warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of roasted agave and caramel provide a sweet backdrop. A subtle peppery note adds complexity.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Cooked agave and oak lead, followed by flavors of butterscotch, dark chocolate, and toasted almonds. Dried fruit notes reminiscent of figs and dates emerge. A touch of black pepper and cinnamon spice balances the sweetness.

Finish: Long and warming. The oak influence lingers, accompanied by a pleasant mix of sweet caramel, vanilla, and peppery spice. A subtle earthiness reminds of the tequila's agave roots. Ends with a dry, slightly tannic quality that invites another sip.

Tapatio Tequila Añejo is crafted using traditional methods, including slow-cooking blue agave in brick ovens and fermenting with wild, airborne yeasts. The spirit is then aged for 18 months in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing it to develop rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak while maintaining the vibrant agave character that Tapatio is known for.

  • Tapatio Añejo tequila is aged in used Jim Beam bourbon barrels, creating a unique flavor profile that blends the spicy notes of tequila with subtle hints of vanilla and caramel from the whiskey casks.
  • Despite being a premium tequila, Tapatio Añejo is still made using traditional tahona wheels to crush the agave, a labor-intensive process that fewer than 3% of tequila producers still employ.
  • The name "Tapatio" isn't just a brand—it's a term of pride for people from Guadalajara, where this tequila is made. It's like calling a New Yorker a "Big Apple-ite" or a Chicagoan a "Windy City-zen."
