Olmeca Altos Anejo Tequila

The Añejo is the top of the Olmeca Altos range, and it carries the same foundation that made the Plata a bartender's staple worldwide: Master Distiller Jesús Hernández working with Henry Besant and Dre Masso of the Worldwide Cocktail Club to build a genuinely traditional 100% agave tequila at an accessible price. Made at Destilería Colonial de Jalisco (NOM 1111) in Arandas, the unofficial capital of Los Altos at 2,104 meters, from highland agave grown seven to eight years, it blends two distillates — one crushed by a two-ton volcanic tahona stone and fermented with the fibers in wooden tanks, the other by roller mill — both slow-cooked in mampostería brick ovens and distilled in small copper pot stills. The añejo then rests around 18 months in ex-bourbon American oak, bottled at 40% ABV. That's long enough to build real depth without burying the highland agave sweetness the brand is built around. Expect cooked agave, vanilla, dried fruit, and caramel on the nose with toasted oak underneath, opening into a rounder, richer palate of butterscotch, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and gentle pepper, finishing warm and long. Where the Plata and Reposado live in cocktails, this one earns a slow pour neat or over a single cube — and makes a genuinely excellent Tequila Old Fashioned.
