Riazul Añejo Tequila: The Pinnacle of Aged Agave Elegance

Ascend to the highest tier of aged tequila sophistication with Riazul Añejo Tequila. This exquisite expression represents the harmonious culmination of Riazul's dedication to quality, from their single-estate, high-altitude agave fields to an extended, meticulous aging process in premium French oak. It's a testament to patience, terroir, and the art of transformation.

Riazul cultivates its 100% Blue Weber Agave at an elevation of 7,000 feet in the highlands of Jalisco, where the rich, red volcanic soil and unique climate foster an exceptional sweetness and complexity in the piñas. After a slow, 36-hour roasting in traditional stone ovens, fermentation with a proprietary yeast, and double distillation, the tequila embarks on its transformative journey. Riazul Añejo is aged for a minimum of 2 years (exceeding the 1-year minimum for Añejo) in French Limousin oak barrels. This extended maturation imparts a deep amber hue and develops an extraordinary depth of flavor, creating a tequila that is sumptuously smooth, complex, and profoundly elegant.

Why Riazul Añejo is a Connoisseur's Choice:

• Extended French Oak Aging: Matured for a minimum of 2 years in French Limousin oak, which contributes unparalleled elegance, nuanced vanilla, spice, and dried fruit notes distinct from those of American oak.
• Single-Estate & High-Altitude Agave: Sourced exclusively from Riazul's own highlands estate, ensuring unique sweetness and exceptional quality derived from its unique terroir.
• Profoundly Complex & Smooth: The long aging process creates an incredibly rich tapestry of flavors and a velvety, luxurious mouthfeel, perfect for sipping.
• Traditional & Meticulous Production: Adheres to time-honored methods from agave cultivation and roasting to precise distillation and extended maturation.
• Sipping Excellence: Designed to be savored neat or with a single ice cube, allowing its intricate layers to fully unfold.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: A rich and inviting bouquet of caramelized agave, deep vanilla, toasted almond, dark chocolate, and dried dark fruits (like fig or apricot), with subtle floral and peppery undertones from the French oak.
• Palate: Luxuriously full-bodied and exceptionally smooth, with a profound sweetness of cooked agave, layered with creamy vanilla, butterscotch, and nuanced notes of toasted nuts, baking spices, and a hint of dark cocoa.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and remarkably elegant, with a persistent interplay of sweet oak, dried fruit, and a sophisticated, evolving spice.

Riazul Añejo Tequila is an indispensable acquisition for the discerning tequila aficionado seeking a truly aged, refined, and complex expression that showcases the masterful harmony of exceptional agave and premium oak. It's a spirit for special occasions and cherished moments of contemplation.
