Pueblo Viejo Orgullo Añejo Tequila
Pueblo Viejo · Tequila San Matías (NOM 1103)
Pueblo Viejo Orgullo Añejo is a quiet overachiever — a tequila that keeps its promise of honest, well-aged agave character without pretension or price inflation. It represents the kind of straightforward craftsmanship that rewards loyal drinkers, making it a benchmark for value-driven añejos that never cut corners.
Nose
Warm cooked agave opens into butterscotch and toasted oak, with a gentle ribbon of vanilla bean running through. Dried apricot and light cinnamon spice add complexity, while a subtle mineral earthiness grounds the bouquet.
Palate
Medium-bodied and surprisingly elegant for its price, delivering caramel-coated agave sweetness alongside roasted almond and baking spice. Oak influence is well-integrated, offering light tannin structure and a honeyed warmth that coats the tongue without heaviness.
Finish
Medium-length finish of warm cinnamon, toasted oak, and lingering cooked agave that fades gracefully into a pleasant peppery tingle.

Food Pairing
Slow-braised pork carnitas with crispy edges served on warm corn tortillas, topped with pickled red onion, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. The caramelized pork fat mirrors the tequila's butterscotch notes while the acidity of the pickled onion lifts the oak-driven warmth.
Born from the San Matías family's century-plus legacy in Jalisco's highlands, Pueblo Viejo Orgullo is the quiet handshake between old-world tradition and everyday accessibility — a covenant kept bottle after bottle.
