Description
Nueve Tequila Anejo is a German-Mexican collaboration made in Jalisco from highland Blue Weber agave grown around Los Altos. The fruity, sweeter highland agave here is left to ripen eight to twelve years, longer than the five or six years many growers allow, and the jimadores cut the leaves close to the pina by hand with a coa. This is a 50 ml miniature of the full bottle.
Production follows a traditional path. The pinas are cooked slowly for 54 hours in brick ovens, a gentle bake that avoids heavy caramelisation and lets the agave soften fully, then fermented with natural yeast in stainless tanks over more than two days and distilled twice. The spirit then rests two years in bourbon oak. The result leans soft and warm, with weighted agave under honey, vanilla and toasted oak, closing mild with a light sweetness.
