Tasting Notes

Nose

Opens with deeply roasted agave and brown butter, as if unearthing something slow-cooked beneath warm earth. Caramel and baking spice emerge gradually, followed by a quiet mineral note that recalls wet clay and dried herbs.

Palate

Medium-bodied and layered, the palate delivers cooked agave sweetened by butterscotch and vanilla, with a streak of dark chocolate and black pepper rising through the middle. Cinnamon bark and toasted oak add structure, while a subtle earthiness grounds every sip.

Finish

Medium-long and warming, with lingering caramel, dried herb, and a final whisper of mineral-laced agave that surfaces slowly and refuses to leave.

Cocktail Suggestion

The Unearthed — 2 oz Tres Agaves Añejo · 0.75 oz Ancho Reyes · 0.5 oz fresh lime juice · 0.25 oz agave nectar · Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel dusted with smoked salt.

Food Pairing

Slow-braised birria tacos with consommé for dipping—the deeply stewed, chile-laced beef mirrors the tequila's roasted agave and warm spice, while the rich broth echoes its butterscotch undertones and earthy finish.

The Story

Aged for a full eighteen months in American oak barrels in the Jalisco highlands, Tres Agaves Añejo is built on the philosophy that great tequila should taste like the land it came from—flavors buried deep in slow-roasted piñas finally finding their way to the surface.
