Quita Penas Anejo Tequila

Quita Penas, Spanish for takes away sorrows, is the value label from Tequilera Corralejo, NOM 1368, the Hacienda Corralejo distillery in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, one of the handful of tequila producers operating outside Jalisco under the denomination of origin and the maker of the tall, colorful Corralejo bottles. Quita Penas is made from 100% blue Weber agave cooked in high-pressure autoclaves, extracted on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and double distilled in copper pot stills, the same basic process the distillery uses across its brands. The Añejo spends at least a year in oak barrels, the minimum for the category under Mexican regulation, and the distillery does not publish a longer figure, so take the aging as around that mark. Wooden Cork's tasting notes describe a flowery nose of citrus fruit, caramel, chocolate, and a little smoke, a soft palate with a bit of spice, orange peel, earth, and oak, and a fairly long finish of black pepper and citrus. It comes in a 1-liter bottle, which makes it one of the better-value aged tequilas for a house pour or an añejo Old Fashioned.
