It is made at the DGL distillery just outside Arandas in the highlands of Jalisco, a prime location for superior agave, where Rodolfo Gonzalez's son Paul and daughter Graciela represent the fourth generation. The hand-selected agave is cooked in autoclaves, shredded and gently pressed to extract its full flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden in color, it offers a caramel aroma with sweet fruit and light oak. A smooth entry leads to a soft, medium-to-full-bodied palate with caramel, grilled tropical fruit and brown spices, and the finish shows lightly sweet agave fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with lamb or rabbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAñejo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, sweet fruit, light oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, grilled tropical fruit, brown spices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly sweet agave fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Mayor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e DGL, Arandas, Jalisco Highlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Añejo tequila\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% blue Weber agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 to 36 months in white oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat in a snifter or over a single large cube, and try it alongside lamb or rabbit dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18 to 36 months in white oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes El Mayor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gonzalez family, fourth-generation tequila distillers, at DGL near Arandas, Jalisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does El Mayor mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe greatest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tequila\"\u003eTequila collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Mayor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68029500948789,"sku":"VWS_100419036","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-27341.webp?v=1793730583","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/el-mayor-anejo-tequila-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
