Desnuda Añejo Tequila – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750ml

Rich, refined, and deeply layered, Desnuda Añejo Tequila is the brand’s most developed expression, bringing together mature Blue Weber agave and extended maturation in used bourbon barrels. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this organic Añejo develops notes of bourbon oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee, citrus peel, and subtle smoke while retaining the cooked-agave character at its core.

Process & Aging

Desnuda Añejo begins with 100% Blue Weber agave and follows the brand’s hands-on approach to tequila production. According to Desnuda, the tequila is open-air fermented and double distilled before being matured in used bourbon casks.

The Añejo is aged longer in bourbon barrels than the Reposado, allowing it to develop greater richness and barrel influence while maintaining the clean agave character central to Desnuda’s style. The finished tequila is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

Desnuda also identifies its tequila as made with certified organic agave, zero additives, and no glyphosate, emphasizing purity and minimal intervention throughout production.

Appearance

Rich golden amber with warm copper highlights, reflecting its extended maturation in used bourbon barrels.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and complex with bourbon, caramel, vanilla, and cooked agave, lifted by tropical fruit and floral notes. Pepper, maple, and subtle smoke add warmth and depth.

Palate: Bold and refined with oak, bourbon, vanilla, and cooked agave, followed by layers of dark chocolate, coffee, and smoky sweetness. Tropical fruit and citrus peel provide brightness against the deeper barrel character.

Finish: Dry yet sweet, evolving into toasted oak, cocoa, and coffee before finishing with lingering maple, pepper, bourbon, and citrus peel.

What Makes It Special

Desnuda Añejo is the most barrel-developed expression in the Desnuda lineup. Extended maturation in used bourbon casks introduces greater oak, vanilla, bourbon, chocolate, coffee, and smoky character without completely covering the natural flavor of the agave.

The brand’s production philosophy also places a strong emphasis on what is left out. Desnuda states that its tequila uses certified organic agave, contains zero additives, and is produced without glyphosate.

The result is an Añejo that combines mature barrel character with Desnuda’s focus on agave, traditional craftsmanship, and minimal intervention.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tequila tasting glass to experience the full progression from cooked agave and vanilla to bourbon oak, dark chocolate, coffee, and citrus.

Allowing the tequila several minutes to rest after pouring can help open its deeper barrel aromas and reveal additional layers of fruit, maple, spice, and toasted oak.
