94 Points - “The extra months in oak make this mature tequila far more creamy and rich than its younger siblings. However, the true vegetal flavors of the agave are not overpowered by the milk chocolate (or cocoa), vanilla, cinnamon and clove from the additional contact with oak. Finishes with a subtle peppery spice. This añejo shows 'em how it's done! An amazing value.” – distiller.com
We introduced the Añejo to the US at the same time as the Reposado, in 2013. A truly authentic handmade añejo, it is distilled to strength and bottled without dilution to retain the true flavors of the spirit.
To make our Añejo, Agave Pina's are harvested by Jimadores, slowly baked for 4 days, then crushed to extract the Mosto. Fermented by an 80-year old yeast culture, double- distilled in Tequilano Pot Stills, aged 18 months in used Jim Beam American oak barrels then barely filtered and bottled. The longer aging evokes floral and peppery aromas, with the cacao and lime zest flavors balanced with a spicy dried chile, all finishing off with warm vanilla tones.
Don Felipe Camarena was born into a family that had distilled tequila since back in the early 1800’s. The family’s original distillery was destroyed and abandoned during the Mexican Revolution. Don Felipe began his career by growing and selling agave plants to other distillers. But since tequila making was in his blood, he started distilling his own tequila, selecting only the ripest plants and using equipment from his family’s original distillery.
In 1937 Don Felipe opened La Alteña distillery in the mountainous region of Jalisco, Mexico, known for producing the best blue agave. His passion for doing things just right inspired his family to continue handcrafting Tapatio so it could be enjoyed by future generations.
Don Felipe passed the business to his son, Felipe J. Camarena Orozco, who in turn passed it on to his daughters, Lilianna and Gabriela, and to his son, Carlos, who today, as Master Distiller, maintains the standards of excellence set down by his grandfather, Don Felipe.
