Alien Añejo is a 100% agave tequila from the Ciénega region of Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in the brand's signature alien-head bottle.
It is rested for a minimum of one year in oak, which gives it a dark, rich amber colour with golden hues and a full, intense body.
Complex, pronounced aromas of nutmeg, stone fruit and orange zest open the glass.
Sweet notes of butterscotch, vanilla and spice finish the blend with a robust, lingering finish.
The agave is cooked in brick ovens and double distilled at NOM 1547, and the sculpted, iridescent bottle makes it an unforgettable gift.
Añejo tequila is aged between one and three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, long enough to add colour, sweetness and spice while keeping the character of the agave, which makes it a natural sipping tequila.

Sip Alien Añejo neat in a snifter or over a large ice cube to enjoy its butterscotch and spice, perhaps with an orange slice dusted with cinnamon. It makes an exceptional Añejo Old Fashioned with agave syrup and orange bitters, and a rich Manhattan-style cocktail with sweet vermouth. Pair it with mole, barbacoa, grilled steak, dark chocolate and flan. Its alien-head bottle is a guaranteed conversation piece at any party. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
