Process & Production

DAVO Añejo begins with Blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico. After harvesting, the agave is processed to extract its fermentable sugars, which are then fermented and distilled to produce tequila. The añejo classification indicates that the tequila is matured in oak barrels for at least one year and less than three years, allowing it to develop additional depth, color, and complexity.

During maturation, the interaction between the tequila and the oak helps create a richer profile, with potential notes of vanilla, toasted wood, baking spices, and caramel complementing the underlying agave character. The result is an aged tequila designed to balance the flavors of the agave with the influence of the barrel.

Tasting Notes

What Makes It Special

DAVO Añejo offers an aged expression of tequila that brings together the distinctive character of Blue Weber agave and the added complexity of barrel maturation. Its 40% ABV provides a traditional tequila strength, making it appropriate for sipping slowly and exploring the way agave and oak complement one another.

The añejo category appeals to tequila drinkers who enjoy a more developed profile than an unaged blanco, with additional warmth and richness from time spent in barrels.

How to Enjoy

DAVO Añejo is best enjoyed neat in a tasting glass, allowing its aromas and flavors to develop as it rests. A few drops of water may open up additional aromatic details, while a single large ice cube can soften the alcohol warmth and create a slower, more relaxed sipping experience.

It can also be enjoyed in spirit-forward cocktails, such as an Añejo Old Fashioned, where the tequila’s aged character pairs well with bitters and a touch of sweetness. For food pairings, consider grilled meats, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or desserts featuring caramel and vanilla.
