The Extra Añejo classification mandates a minimum of three years of aging in oak barrels not exceeding 600 liters in capacity, resulting in substantial wood influence and a profile that often draws comparisons to aged cognac or fine whisky. The extended barrel time softens the raw agave spirit, integrating oak tannins and developing layers of dried fruit, caramel, and spice that define the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm butterscotch and toasted oak greet the nose first, followed by dried fig, vanilla bean, and a subtle undercurrent of baking spice.
