Process & Production

DAVO Extra Añejo begins with Blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico, a region recognized for its long-standing tequila-making tradition. Following harvesting, the agave is processed to extract its sugars, fermented, and distilled to create tequila before being placed in oak barrels for extended maturation.

Extra añejo tequila must be aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. During this extended period, the spirit interacts with the wood, developing deeper color and a more layered flavor profile. Oak maturation can contribute notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, baking spices, and dried fruit, complementing the underlying agave character.

The balance between agave sweetness and barrel influence gives extra añejo tequila its distinctive style, offering a more developed profile than younger tequila expressions.

Appearance

DAVO Extra Añejo is expected to display a deep golden to amber hue, reflecting the influence of extended oak maturation. Its rich color evokes the warmth and depth commonly associated with long-aged tequila.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, accompanied by warm baking spices and hints of dried fruit.

Palate: A layered combination of sweet agave, caramel, vanilla, and oak. Notes of toasted wood and gentle spice add depth, while a rounded texture brings the flavors together.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering oak, vanilla, caramel, and mellow agave sweetness.

What Makes It Special

DAVO Extra Añejo stands apart through its extra añejo classification, which requires at least three years of oak aging. This extended maturation gives the tequila an opportunity to develop greater depth and a more pronounced relationship between the agave spirit and the barrel.

For tequila enthusiasts who enjoy aged spirits, extra añejo offers an experience that can bring to mind some of the characteristics found in well-matured whiskey or brandy while retaining tequila’s distinctive agave foundation.

How to Enjoy

DAVO Extra Añejo is best enjoyed neat in a small tasting glass, allowing its aromas to open gradually. Letting the tequila rest briefly in the glass can help reveal additional aromatic layers. A few drops of water may also soften the alcohol warmth and bring certain flavors forward.

For a cocktail, consider an Extra Añejo Old Fashioned, using a small amount of sweetener and bitters to complement rather than overwhelm the tequila. It also pairs well with dark chocolate, toasted nuts, caramel desserts, and richly flavored grilled dishes.
