Malinalli Extra Anejo Tequila

Oak-influenced vanilla bean is rampant at the early in-mouth stage; plus there is a modicum of green vegetable presence as the saltiness subsides. Big vanilla custard flavor is bolstered by green pepper (jalapeño now) and oaky resins. Delightfully rich and creamy, but neither unctuous nor syrupy. There’s a slight hint of smokiness/cigar box in the aftertaste and adds a nice finishing touch.

Malinalli is a legend, a woman, a figure shrouded in the past, deeply significant to the European ingenuity and native tradition of Mexico. Her history is complex, like the land that imparts its character into every drop of our tequila. They make Malinalli Tequila at a state-of-the-art family-owned distillery in El Salto, Jalisco. Their tequila starts with prime agave, grown on the same family estate that for one hundred years has yielded some of the region’s finest agave.
