Amatiteña Añejo Tequila is an estate-grown, additive-free añejo from Amatitán, Jalisco, aged 12 months in American oak barrels that once held Napa Valley red wine. It is bottled at 42% ABV (84 proof): rich and confectionary, yet delicate.

The Story of Amatiteña Añejo

Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida makes Amatiteña at NOM 1477 from single-estate agave grown on the El Novillero and Las Rosas fields. The piñas are roasted in a mesquite-fired stone oven without steam, crushed by tahona, fermented with their fibers in open-air wooden tanks with spring water and wild yeast, and distilled in 19th-century copper pot stills. The añejo then rests a full year in ex-Napa Valley red wine barrels, which add depth without overwhelming the agave. It walks the line between serious sipping tequila and nightcap treat.

Tasting Notes
