Process & Production

VALE Añejo begins with 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Valle de Tequila region of Jalisco. The agaves are cooked in a traditional brick oven, helping develop the natural sweetness and cooked-agave character that forms the foundation of the tequila.

After cooking, the agave is processed and fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing two distillations using column stills equipped with copper coils. The resulting tequila is then matured for 14 months in medium-toasted American oak whisky barrels, allowing the spirit to develop its characteristic amber color, toasted aromas, ripe fruit flavors, chocolate notes, and nutty complexity.

Appearance

Bright amber-orange with a clean, transparent appearance and attractive copper reflections.

Tasting Notes

Palate: Full-bodied and naturally sweet, with flavors of ripe sweet fruit, chocolate, toasted nuts, and mature agave supported by gentle oak influence.

What Makes It Special

VALE Añejo combines the fresh character of 100% Blue Weber Agave with the rich influence of 14 months in medium-toasted American oak whisky barrels. The barrel maturation brings pronounced chocolate, dried fruit, hazelnut, and almond characteristics while maintaining the full-bodied structure of the tequila.

Bottled at 42% ABV, VALE Añejo offers a slightly higher proof than many traditional añejos, giving the spirit additional intensity and texture while remaining smooth and approachable.
