We introduced the Aejo to the US at the same time as the Reposado, in 2013. A truly authentic handmade aejo, it is distilled to strength and bottled without dilution to retain the true flavors of the spirit.
To make our Aejo, Agave Pinas are harvested by Jimadores, slowly baked for 4 days, then crushed to extract the Mosto. Fermented by an 80-year old yeast culture, double- distilled in Tequilano Pot Stills, aged 18 months in used Jim Beam American oak barrels then barely filtered and bottled. The longer aging evokes floral and peppery aromas, with the cacao and lime zest flavors balanced with a spicy dried chile, all finishing off with warm vanilla tones.

94 Points – The extra months in oak make this mature tequila far more creamy and rich than its younger siblings. However, the true vegetal flavors of the agave are not overpowered by the milk chocolate (or cocoa), vanilla, cinnamon and clove from the additional contact with oak. Finishes with a subtle peppery spice. This aejo shows ’em how it’s done! An amazing value. distiller.com
