Mijenta Anejo Tequila
Mijenta Añejo Tequila is a premium aged tequila that showcases the refined elegance and complexity that extended oak maturation brings to high-quality 100% Blue Weber agave. Crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, using traditional methods and sustainable practices, Mijenta is produced by Master Distiller Ana María Romero Mena at Casa Maestri, combining artisanal craftsmanship with a commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This añejo expression is aged for a minimum of 18 months in a combination of American white oak, French oak, and ex-bourbon barrels, creating layers of complexity where rich vanilla, caramel, and oak spice complement rather than mask the agave's natural character. The result is a sophisticated, beautifully balanced tequila that appeals to both tequila enthusiasts seeking depth and whiskey drinkers exploring aged spirits beyond their usual categories. Mijenta's commitment to sustainability, women-led production, and transparent sourcing makes it particularly appealing for conscious consumers who value quality with purpose.
On the nose, Mijenta Añejo reveals rich aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel with notes of toasted oak, dried fruit, baking spices, and hints of chocolate and citrus that create inviting complexity. The palate delivers a smooth, well-rounded experience with flavors of butterscotch, roasted agave, oak, and warm spices balanced by notes of dark fruit, nuts, cocoa, and a silky texture that speaks to the quality of both the agave and the aging process. The finish is long and elegant with lingering oak, sweet agave, vanilla, and gentle spice. The extended aging has created beautiful integration where wood influence enhances rather than overpowers the tequila's essential agave character, making it sophisticated yet still distinctly tequila. Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to appreciate its full complexity, though it also creates exceptional elevated cocktails like añejo Old Fashioneds or premium margaritas. Whether you're a tequila connoisseur seeking expressions with depth and maturity, exploring sustainably produced spirits from women-led distilleries, or looking for an aged spirit that offers something beautifully different from whiskey, Mijenta Añejo Tequila delivers refined elegance and the perfect balance of agave soul with oak sophistication in every sip.
