This anejo pays tribute to the year Don Julio Gonzalez began his tequila-making journey, aged a minimum of two and a half years in American white oak barrels previously used for bourbon, a process that's helped establish it as a genuine collector's staple. Caramel, cooked agave and vanilla open the aromatic profile alongside toasted oak, developing into a lush, layered palate where cooked agave leads alongside toasty oak, silky vanilla and a hint of dark chocolate, closing on a long, warming finish with the elegance expected of a premium anejo.
