{"title":"Ancho Reyes","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAncho Reyes traces its recipe to 1927 Puebla, Mexico, a period when the city was steeped in Mexican and European culinary influence and homemade chile liqueurs were part of daily life. Co-founded by Ivan Saldaña — the mind behind Casa Lumbre, home to Montelobos Mezcal and Abasolo Corn Whisky — the brand launched in 2012 and quickly earned Drinkhacker's Liqueur of the Year in 2014, essentially inventing the modern chile liqueur category. Everything starts with poblano chiles grown in Puebla's volcanic soil, macerated in a cane spirit for months. The Original uses chiles sun-dried for 15 to 20 days into ancho chiles — sweet, smoky, warm, with dried fruit and cinnamon underneath the heat. Verde, launched in 2016, picks the same poblanos green and fire-roasts them for something bright, fresh, and vegetal instead, and has since become a genuine bar staple for spicy margaritas and mezcal cocktails. Barrica, released in 2023, is the first-ever barrel-aged chile liqueur, resting the Original for two years in ex-bourbon casks (mostly Jack Daniel's and Buffalo Trace) for a rounder, vanilla-laced sipping expression. Now owned by Campari Group, the range remains one of the most distinctive tools in any serious cocktail arsenal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Ancho Reyes collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ancho-reyes-chile-ancho-liqueur","title":"Ancho Reyes Chile Ancho Liqueur","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAncho Reyes has a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erich and complex warmth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, followed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esweet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e spices and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esubtle acidity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and finishes with the pleasant, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esmoky heat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e of the ancho chile.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":39665802018972,"sku":"C0003792L","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"375ml","offer_id":39665802051740,"sku":"C0005383L","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/AnchoDeReyesChilleAncho.jpg?v=1618528468"},{"product_id":"ancho-reyes-verde-chile-poblano-liqueur","title":"Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Poblano Liqueur","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAncho Reyes Verde is technically the same pepper as the original — the ancho chile is simply a dried poblano — but picked early, while still green, then fire-roasted and mashed before maceration, skipping the sun-drying step entirely. Launched in 2016 as the brand's first line extension, it pours a light greenish-brown despite the vivid green bottle, and bottles at 40% ABV. The result is bright, fresh, and vegetal where the original is sweet and smoky: Drinkhacker's Christopher Null found the nose reads like straight roasted poblano — \"the unmistakeable aroma of a plate of cheese-loaded chile rellenos\" — with sweetness cut by orange citrus and an increasingly intense green chile finish, though he admitted he was still searching for the perfect cocktail vehicle for it. Tastings.com scored it 92 points, and other tasters describe grilled pineapple, lime, tomatillo, and cilantro alongside a slow, earthy burn that's more warmth than fire. Bartenders have been considerably less ambivalent than critics — Total Wine reviewers call it \"essential\" and \"a must-have,\" and it's become a genuine industry staple for spicy margaritas, palomas, micheladas, Bloody Marias, and mezcal cocktails. Genuinely unlike anything else in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Poblano Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"375ml","offer_id":39665832427676,"sku":"C0003794L","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml","offer_id":39665832460444,"sku":"C0003795L","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/AnchoReyesChilleGreens.jpg?v=1618528963"},{"product_id":"ancho-reyes-barrica-mexican-chile-liqueur","title":"Ancho Reyes Barrica Mexican Chile Liqueur","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAncho Reyes was co-founded by Ivan Saldaña, the mind behind Casa Lumbre (Montelobos Mezcal, Abasolo Corn Whisky), based on a 1927 Puebla recipe — poblano chiles grown in the volcanic soil around Puebla, sun-dried for 15 to 20 days until they become ancho chiles, then macerated in a cane spirit for months. Barrica, launched in November 2023, was the brand's first new release since Verde in 2017 and the first-ever barrel-aged chile liqueur: the original Ancho Reyes rested for two years in ex-bourbon barrels, most of which previously held Jack Daniel's or Buffalo Trace, according to Drinkhacker's visit to the facility. Unlike the original, this one is explicitly built for sipping neat or over ice as well as mixing. Drinkhacker found it sweet at first with a gentle heat that builds over subsequent sips, the spice notably more subdued than the unaged versions, and called it a successful experiment in adding refinement and depth without losing the core flavor. Imbibe noted the barrel heightens the earthy, smoky qualities while layering in vanilla. Expect dulce de leche, spiced vanilla, cinnamon, orange zest, and a long, warm chile hug on the finish. Paste Magazine wasn't sure it's a dramatic departure from the original, but found it excellent in a reposado Margarita. Also outstanding swapped for whiskey in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Ancho Reyes Barrica Mexican Chile Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924904837376,"sku":"C0007416L","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/NewANcho.jpg?v=1696013606"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/ancho-reyes.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
