Solento Organic Añejo Tequila

Product Description

Solento Organic Añejo Tequila: Eighteen Months in American Oak, Maple, Hazelnut, and Butterscotch

Slow is the whole idea. Solento Organic Añejo Tequila is made from 100% USDA certified organic blue Weber agave that grows for seven years, then is harvested in small batches from a single estate in Amatitán, Jalisco, cooked for two days in brick ovens, naturally fermented, and double distilled at Tequila Las Americas. It’s then left to rest 18 months in American oak whisky barrels. It’s additive-free, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The name means “slow sun,” and it won a Silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

The brand describes an aroma of maple, toasted hazelnuts, and winter spice, a taste of cooked agave and warm maple syrup, a velvety mouthfeel, and a finish of ruby grapefruit and lingering butterscotch. Reviewers find creamy maple, vanilla, and caramel, and a smooth, oaky finish. It’s an añejo for people who like their tequila to taste like tequila, with the oak in support, and it’s sweeter and softer than most because the highland agave grows in volcanic soil and the bitter stem is trimmed away. Sip it neat or on the rocks, as the brand recommends, or use it in a Tequila Old Fashioned. It’s a gift for the organic-minded, a step up from the Reposado, and a bottle to open slowly.
