Production & Heritage

Nosotros Añejo is produced at Casa Maestri (NOM 1438) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. The agave is cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens, extracted via roller mill, fermented in open-air stainless steel tanks, and double-distilled in stainless steel pot stills. What sets this expression apart is its dual-terroir foundation — a 50/50 blend of highland agave from Los Altos, known for sweeter and fruitier characteristics, and lowland valley agave, which contributes herbaceous and mineral qualities. After distillation, the tequila rests for 21 months using a combination of pipón (large vat) and traditional barrel-style aging in American white oak, allowing the spirit to develop complex oak character while preserving the agave's natural vibrancy. Nosotros uses no additives and sources only fully mature Blue Weber agaves grown with sustainable farming practices.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with lush caramel and vanilla before transitioning into butterscotch, coconut, and a distinct cinnamon syrup warmth. Dried fruit lingers underneath, adding depth to an inviting bouquet.

Taste: On entry, toffee and cooked agave sweetness coat the palate. The mid-palate builds with dark chocolate and cinnamon spice, balanced by a citrus brightness that keeps the richness from becoming heavy. The 21 months of oak aging contribute a velvety, rounded texture throughout.

Finish: Long and warm, with lingering cinnamon and toffee that fade slowly and satisfyingly. A gentle oak dryness emerges at the tail end, grounding the sweetness with structure.

How to Drink Nosotros Añejo

This añejo is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube, which opens up additional caramel and vanilla notes as it slowly dilutes. Its rich oak profile and 40% ABV also make it surprisingly versatile in cocktails:

• Old Fashioned: The toffee and cinnamon backbone pairs naturally with bitters and a citrus peel, requiring little additional sweetener.
• Añejo Manhattan: Swap rye for this añejo — the dark chocolate and vanilla notes complement sweet vermouth without competing.
• Tequila Sidecar: The citrus brightness in the spirit echoes the orange liqueur and lemon, while the oak adds a sophistication not found in younger tequilas.

Best For

• Gifting a tequila enthusiast who appreciates additive-free, estate-quality expressions
• Side-by-side tastings comparing highland versus lowland agave influence
• After-dinner sipping alongside dark chocolate or dessert
• Introducing bourbon or whiskey drinkers to oak-aged tequila
