Four Woods, One Gran Reserva
Most añejos age in one kind of barrel; the Gran Reserva rotates through four. American white oak and French oak lay the vanilla-and-caramel foundation, acacia adds light herb and citrus notes, and cherry barrels — plus a final touch in Sherry casks — bring the fruit. The result is a limited, collector-tier Mijenta built on the brand's award-winning blanco: cacao nib and butterscotch on the nose, dried fruits, mace, anise, saffron, and coffee on the palate, all from roughly 8-year-old highland agave cooked in autoclaves and fermented 36 hours with natural yeast.

Tasting Notes
Elegant nose of cacao nibs, butterscotch, cooked agave, and hints of tobacco; intense golden color with copper tones; smooth, velvety palate of dried fruits, spices, and coffee with apple, vanilla, caramel, and cherry-wood fruit; long, generous finish with a lightly herbaceous, peppered close.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita, slowly — this is the collector's Mijenta. It also elevates a top-shelf Añejo Old Fashioned or a refined Tequila Manhattan.
