Leyenda de México Añejo is a limited-quantity 100% agave tequila aged three years in a combination of white American oak and French oak barrels. It is made from blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, distilled twice and bottled at 40% ABV under NOM 1533.
Tequila Leyenda de México was founded in 1999 around a slow, natural process designed to draw out both clarity and intensity in small batches.
Three years in two kinds of oak give this añejo a velvety texture, with almonds, roasted hazelnuts, cooked agave and vanilla. Sweet stone fruit and a fragrant floral note lift the nose, and the palate deepens into cinnamon, dry oak, leather and tobacco before light pepper on the finish.
The matte black bottle carries a copper Sol y Luna medallion, the sun and moon joined in one face, above the brand's embossed copper lettering, a handsome gift for any tequila lover.
It is designed for neat sipping, and is especially good alongside coffee or a cigar.
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.
