123 Organic #3 Tequila Añejo: The Rich, Refined Essence of Aged Organic Agave

Elevate your tequila experience with 123 Organic #3 Tequila Añejo, a superb aged expression that beautifully marries the vibrant character of organic Blue Weber agave with the sophisticated nuances imparted by patient barrel maturation. As the "número tres" in 123 Organic Tequila's acclaimed series, this Añejo embodies elegance, complexity, and a profound commitment to sustainable craftsmanship.

Crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, 123 Organic Tequila (Uno Dos Tres Tequila) stands as a beacon of artisanal tradition and environmental stewardship. The journey of #3 Añejo begins with 100% certified organic Blue Weber Agave plants, nurtured biodynamically for 7-10 years without pesticides or chemicals on a single estate. After harvest, the agave piñas are slowly cooked for two days in traditional stone ovens (hornos), coaxing out their natural, sweet flavors.

The extracted juice undergoes a natural fermentation in open-air wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, capturing the unique terroir. It is then meticulously double distilled in small, stainless steel pot stills, yielding a pure and vibrant spirit. What distinguishes #3 Añejo is its transformative aging process: it is matured for 12 months (the minimum for an Añejo) in new, charred American white oak barrels. This specific barrel choice and duration allow the tequila to develop a rich golden hue and absorb a complex array of vanilla, caramel, and spice notes, while still preserving the underlying character of the cooked agave. Every step of its production adheres to strict USDA Organic and EU Organic certifications, making it a truly clean and environmentally conscious choice.

Bottled at a classic 40% ABV (80 Proof), 123 Organic #3 Añejo offers a harmonious balance of aged richness and agave authenticity.
