Don Elias Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco, aged for at least one year in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a heavy square decanter with a glass stopper, its label showing the brand's charro figure in a wide-brimmed sombrero.
Don Elias is produced at NOM 1477 in El Arenal, in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco, and the label proudly reads 100% puro de agave. The añejo sits between the brand's lightly rested reposado and its long-aged extra añejo.
Over a year or more in oak, the tequila takes on a deep amber hue and a rich character, developing notes of vanilla, caramel and oak while keeping the cooked agave at its heart.
It is smooth and approachable, a classic añejo for sipping slowly after dinner or mixing into a premium Old Fashioned.
With its handsome decanter, it is also an easy gift for any tequila lover.
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.
