Why Isn’t Anyone Talking About This? | El Mexicano Añejo Review

El Mexicano Añejo is one of the most interesting new tequila releases I’ve tasted this year, and I’m honestly surprised more people aren’t talking about it.

Produced at NOM 1588 by the Bañuelos family, the original founders of Cazadores, this additive-free tequila combines traditional Highland agave character with some unique production choices that set it apart from many other añejos on the market.

In this review, I take a deep dive into what makes El Mexicano Añejo special, including its extended fermentation, custom stainless steel pot stills, low-pressure cooking methods, and aging program using both new American and French oak barrels.

Aged 14-16 months at over 6,600 feet in Arandas, Jalisco, this tequila delivers a balance of cooked agave, citrus, oak, vanilla, cocoa, and baking spice while still allowing the agave to shine.

Is this one of the most underrated añejos available today?
