Product Description

Hornitos Añejo Tequila: Oak-Aged Agave with Vanilla, Hazelnut, Dried Fruit, and Toasted Wood

Hornitos Añejo Tequila is a 100% agave tequila matured in white oak for at least one year. The current producer information presents it as the richer, more developed expression in the core Hornitos range, balancing cooked agave with sweet oak, nuts, dried fruit, and vanilla.

The tequila pours a rich tawny-brown color. Chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, dried fruit, and toasted wood lead the aroma, while sweet vanilla, roasted nuts, fruit, and strong agave character carry across the palate. The finish is deep, complex, and slightly drying, giving the bottle enough structure for slow sipping.

This description uses the current standard Hornitos Añejo specification and does not conflate it with the separate Añejo Reserve expression. Packaging and market presentation can change, so the bottle label remains the best reference for release-specific details.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, dried fruit, toasted wood, and mature agave.
• Palate: Sweet vanilla, roasted hazelnut, dried fruit, oak, and concentrated agave nectar.
• Finish: Deep, rich, slightly drying, and persistent, with oak, nuts, vanilla, and agave.

Food Pairings

Pair with grilled steak, carnitas, mole, smoked cheese, roasted nuts, dried fruit, dark chocolate, or vanilla desserts. Its toasted wood and nut character also works with barbecue and charred vegetables.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat in a small tasting glass, over one large cube, or with a few drops of water. For cocktails, use it in an Añejo Old Fashioned or another spirit-forward drink with restrained sweetness.
