Riazul Añejo is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from estate-grown agave in the highlands of Jalisco, double distilled and aged for at least two years in French oak barrels previously seasoned with Cognac, bottled at 40% ABV.
Riazul grows its own blue agave in the Jalisco highlands. After slow roasting and careful double distillation, the añejo rests for two years in French oak, and the Cognac-seasoned barrels give it a luxurious profile with layers of caramel, vanilla, spice and dried fruit, and a beautiful amber hue.
The nose offers vanilla frosting, almond blossom and hints of banana cake and cinnamon sugar. The palate brings silky caramel, roasted agave, dried fruit, toffee and baking spices, and the finish is smooth and lingering, with butterscotch, oak spice and a touch of cocoa.
Presented in Riazul's tall, elegant bottle, it makes a refined gift.
Sip it neat, or use it to elevate a premium cocktail.
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.
