Mijenta, Gran Reserva, Añejo Tequila (40%)

Beautifully presented and B-Corp certified, this Añejo Tequila, the pinnacle of Ana María Romero’s brilliant core range is testament to not only sensitive distillation, but very astute barrel selection. Four different types of casks are used, including, rather unusually, those made of both Acacia and Cherry wood, alongside the more commonly seen American and French Oak. Each barrel type contributes elements to a moreishly complex Tequila, capable of being enjoyed over a long, thoroughly enjoyable evening.
