Adictivo 5 Year Extra Anejo Tequila

Adictivo Extra Añejo is the bottle that made the brand — five years in French oak, in the tall, thin bottle that reads if I die today and am born again, I'd be a tequilero on the inside of the label. Adictivo is made by master distiller Gildardo Partida at NOM 1653 in El Arenal, Jalisco, from a family that's made tequila for over a century; the house style is unapologetically rich and sweet, built for the sipping-tequila drinker who came from Cognac or bourbon. The 5 Year is 100% blue Weber agave slow-cooked in brick ovens, fermented with natural yeast, distilled in copper, and aged five years in French oak, bottled at 40% ABV. Tastings.com rated it in 2021; Long Island Lou Tequila found an exceptional nose — soft cherry fruit, honey, maple syrup, and a Cognac-like oak presence — then a very sweet, very smooth palate of caramel and vanilla, and noted his non-tequila-drinking wife loved it. Honest note, and it's the whole conversation with Adictivo: this is the Americanized, sweet extra añejo style, and enthusiast reviewers flag it as a sweet-tooth pour that likely leans on the additives Mexican law permits up to 1% — agave purists chasing dry, mineral extra añejos should look at Fortaleza or Tapatío Excelencia instead; drinkers who want dessert in a glass and a bottle that stops conversation buy this by the case. Neat, in a snifter, after dinner. The addictive one.
