Production & Heritage

Cincoro Añejo is produced at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, operating under NOM 1438 in Jalisco, Mexico. The liquid begins with a precise 50/50 blend of highland agave — known for sweeter, more floral character — and lowland agave, which tends toward earthier, more herbaceous notes. After distillation, the tequila rests for 24 to 28 months in used Kentucky bourbon barrels within an underground cellar, where stable temperatures and humidity allow for a gradual, even maturation that preserves agave freshness beneath layers of barrel-derived complexity.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with cinnamon-spiced cedar and toasted oak, moving into subtle maple and dried fruit. Underneath, cooked agave maintains a clean, sweet backbone that keeps the barrel influence from dominating.

Taste: Entry is smooth and coating, with melted toffee butter and light butterscotch leading into the mid-palate. Baked pineapple and toasted coconut surface alongside orange peel, fig, and date. The agave remains remarkably present — fresh, zesty, and unmasked despite the extended oak aging — giving the palate a layered balance between sweetness and spice.

Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering dark chocolate and baking spice that slowly fade. A trace of cedar perfume and caramel warmth persists well after each sip.

How to Drink Cincoro Añejo

Sipping neat at room temperature is the ideal way to experience the full spectrum of this añejo's dual-terroir character. A single large ice cube can tame the butterscotch sweetness and sharpen the agave backbone for those who prefer a cooler pour.

Añejo Old Fashioned: The toffee and dark chocolate notes integrate seamlessly with Demerara syrup and mole bitters. Oaxaca Last Word: Swap gin for Cincoro Añejo to bring warm oak and fig into the chartreuse-maraschino framework. Tequila Manhattan: The bourbon-barrel aging gives this añejo natural affinity for sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters, creating a bridge between whiskey and agave cocktail traditions.

Why Cincoro Añejo?

The deliberate blending of highland and lowland agave at a precise 50/50 ratio is the defining technical choice behind this añejo — a production detail that most competitors in the category do not pursue. That dual-origin approach, combined with nearly two and a half years in bourbon barrels inside an underground cellar, produces a tequila that earned 98 points from the Tasting Panel. Where many añejos lean heavily on oak and lose their agave identity, Cincoro maintains a striking freshness and zest beneath the toffee, fig, and dark chocolate. It is an añejo built for drinkers who want barrel complexity without sacrificing the spirit's agave soul.
