Arette Anejo Tequila
Arette Añejo Tequila is a premium aged tequila that showcases traditional production methods and the refined character that comes from extended oak maturation. Produced by the Orendain family at their distillery in Tequila, Jalisco—the heart of Mexico's tequila-producing region—Arette is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the lowlands, where the volcanic soil imparts distinctive earthy, herbal characteristics to the agave. This añejo expression is aged for a minimum of 14 months in American oak barrels, allowing the tequila to develop rich vanilla, caramel, and oak spice notes while maintaining the essential agave character that defines quality tequila. The result is a beautifully balanced añejo that offers sophistication and complexity at an accessible price point, making it popular among tequila enthusiasts who appreciate tradit ional craftsmanship and genuine value. Named after a famous Mexican racehorse, Arette represents the spirit of excellence and tradition in tequila production.
On the nose, Arette Añejo reveals inviting aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel with notes of oak, butterscotch, cinnamon, and subtle herbal complexity. The palate delivers a smooth, well-rounded experience with flavors of sweet agave, toffee, and toasted oak balanced by notes of baking spices, dried fruit, pepper, and the distinctive earthy-herbal character that lowland agave provides. The finish is warm and satisfying with lingering oak, agave sweetness, vanilla, and gentle spice. The 14 months of aging have created excellent integration where wood influence enhances the tequila's natural character without overwhelming the agave, making it sophisticated yet distinctly tequila. Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate its complexity, though it also creates exceptional premium margaritas and elevated tequila cocktails like añejo Old Fashioneds. Whether you're a tequila enthusiast seeking quality aged expressions without premium pricing, exploring traditional lowland tequilas with distinctive terroir character, or looking for a versatile añejo that works beautifully for both sipping and mixing, Arette Añejo Tequila delivers refined oak sophistication and authentic Mexican craftsmanship in every smooth, well-balanced pour.
