Añejo tequila is aged for one to three years, while extra añejo is aged beyond that period. Cask aging produces a deep-amber color. Compared with blanco, añejo replaces raw edge with vanilla, caramel, and a touch of chocolate while keeping agave character. Extra añejo adds greater depth and richness, aligning with fine cognac or aged whiskey. For enjoyment, experts recommend drinking aged tequila neat, especially extra añejo, using a rocks glass or specialized tasting glasses like Riedel Ouverture.
