Wild Common Tequila Anejo

Wild Common Tequila Añejo #2 brings serious barrel character without burying the agave. This limited añejo comes from Cascahuín Distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, under the Rosales family’s direction. Wild Common’s añejo is listed at 47% ABV, making the correct proof 94. The brand’s añejo is matured over 12 months in ex-bourbon barrels, while Agave Matchmaker notes Lote 2 as the Weller-barrel follow-up to Lote 1. That detail matters. Weller bourbon barrels add warmth, spice, and soft sweetness, but the tequila still keeps its cooked agave core. Expect raw honey, cinnamon, oak, golden raisin, candied ginger, and mineral depth in a bold, additive-free sipping tequila.

Nose

Cooked agave rises first with honeyed warmth and serious clarity. Cinnamon, oak, and bourbon-barrel spice follow, giving the aroma a polished, amber-toned glow. Golden raisin, tarragon, and subtle floral notes add lift, keeping the nose elegant rather than heavy.

Palate

The palate opens bold, warm, and deeply textured. Cooked agave leads with raw honey and mineral depth, while Weller bourbon barrel influence brings cinnamon, vanilla-like spice, and gentle oak. Candied ginger and dates move through the middle, adding richness without tipping the tequila into syrupy sweetness.

Finish

The finish lands long, spicy, and agave-driven. Oak, cinnamon, and dried fruit linger with a smooth bourbon-barrel warmth. A clean mineral edge returns at the end, giving the close balance, precision, and real sipping tension.

Pair Wild Common Añejo #2 with carne asada, grilled onions, and warm corn tortillas. The tequila’s oak spice and cooked agave sweetness lock beautifully into charred beef.

Serve it with mole negro, roasted turkey, or pork shoulder. Cinnamon, dried fruit, and barrel warmth echo the sauce’s deep chile and spice layers.

Try it beside aged cotija, smoked Oaxaca cheese, or nutty Manchego. The tequila has enough proof and structure to handle salt, fat, and savory intensity.

For dessert, match it with churros, dark chocolate, candied ginger, or flan. The Weller barrel character loves caramel, spice, and bittersweet cocoa.
