Rancho La Gloria Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila made at the Santa Lucía distillery in Jalisco, NOM 1173, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is aged 12 to 14 months in oak barrels, then blended with reserve tequila aged up to three years in French and American oak, which adds depth and a smooth, rounded finish.
Expect cooked agave with caramel, vanilla, toasted oak and warm spice, the older reserve bringing dried fruit and a silky texture.
A smooth, approachable añejo for sipping or for a premium cocktail.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Añejo tequila must rest at least a year in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, and blending in older reserve stock, as Rancho La Gloria does, is a classic way to add complexity without losing the agave's character.
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.
Tequila 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.
