Vuelo del Aviador Gran Reserva Añejo is a 100% agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, aged for two years and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It begins with the same liquid as the brand's award-winning Plata, which is then rested in wine-seasoned barrels.
The barrels give it notes of oak, toasted agave, chocolate and cherry.
Vuelo del Aviador presents it in a heavy, faceted glass bottle with a black label and gold wings.
The Gran Reserva range spans a Plata rested for four months, a Reposado aged nine months, this two-year Añejo and an Extra Añejo, each built on the same Jalisco agave. The Añejo is the brand's rich, sipping expression, a smooth and fruity tequila to enjoy slowly and a handsome gift for any agave lover.
