Los Arango Tequila Añejo is a premium tequila crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave sourced from the volcanic soil of the Central Valley in Jalisco, Mexico. It is double-distilled and then aged for 18 months in American white oak barrels. The brand honors Don Cenobio Sauza and emphasizes traditional tequila-making methods. The extended aging imparts a richer color and more complex flavor profile compared to the Reposado.
