Something normally found more in valley tequilas, Tequila Cazadores Añejo has a delightfully floral nose with hints of citrus and roasted agave, with a nice dusty base. The beautiful golden color catches the eye, and although it’s lighter than other añejos out there, it is very approachable, both in terms of profile and budget. And as Analise Stettner says, “Cazadores Añejo’s flavor is delicate and slightly woody with notes of caramel and cocoa, which makes it perfect for your cocktail concoctions but it’s also a lovely sipper on its own. This añejo has a well composed flavor with just the right amount of spice.”
Production Details
Cazadores Añejo Tequila is made from 100% blue weber agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, and then distilled twice in copper pot stills. After distillation, the tequila is aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, which gives it its rich and complex flavor profile.
In conclusion, Cazadores Añejo Tequila is an exceptional añejo tequila that is perfect for sipping or mixing. With its smooth and complex flavor profile, it’s no wonder that this tequila has won numerous awards and accolades over the years.
