Mijenta Tequila said it launched its most exclusive and refined expression to date, Añejo Gran Reserva, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. SRP: $199.
Aged for 18 months in a series of hand-selected casks to create its unique and sophisticated flavor profile, the ultra-premium small-batch spirit will be limited to 2,160 bottles in its first release.
The Añejo comes on the heels of Mijenta’s highly acclaimed Blanco and Reposado expressions, which launched in September and December 2020 respectively. Mijenta Añejo Gran Reserva is produced using the award-winning Blanco as its base, a limited quantity of which is reserved expressly to produce this spirit. The tequila undergoes an intricate 18-month aging process during which it matures in four different types of hand-selected casks, each of which brings a unique property to the final expression. This aging process creates a complex, intense and refined profile distinct from other añejo tequilas, the company said.
