Mijenta Anejo Gran Reserva Tequila

Mijenta Añejo Gran Reserva is the ultra‑premium expression in the Mijenta lineup, crafted by Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero. It begins with 100% Highlands blue agave and is aged about 18 months in four distinct cask types: American white oak, French oak, acacia wood, and cherry wood. This aging regimen results in a tequila that balances agave’s pure character with layered oak influences, producing both depth and elegance.

The production is small‑batch and limited, reflecting a dedication to quality and sustainability. The bottle shows a warm golden hue with copper tones, and the aroma carries richness without overpowering sweetness. The texture is smooth and velvety, with a complexity that rewards slow sipping.

Nose: Cacao nibs and cooked agave lead, with butterscotch, tobacco, and hints of toasted oak.

Palate: Smooth and velvety: dried fruits, coffee, subtle spice, caramel, vanilla, and a touch of cherry.

Finish: Long and lingering: oak warmth, spice, agave undertones, and a mild herbal pepper at the back.

Smoky or Grilled Meats: Dishes like grilled short ribs, barbacoa, or charred pork belly amplify its oak and spice character.

Dark Chocolate Desserts: Chocolate mousse or a rich flourless cake match its cacao and vanilla notes.

Aged Cheeses: Nutty cheeses such as aged Manchego, aged Gouda, or even some sharp cheddar bring out its dried fruit and oak tones.

Earthy Sides: Mushrooms, roasted root vegetables, or mole sauces highlight its herbal and spicy layers.
