Adictivo Tequila Extra Anejo

Adictivo Tequila Extra Añejo is produced at Destilería Santa Lucia in Jalisco, Mexico, a facility known for its focus on extended aging programs. The tequila is crafted from 100 percent blue Weber agave sourced from the Jalisco highlands, where the higher elevation and mineral-rich red clay soils produce agaves with elevated sugar content and more pronounced sweetness. After distillation in traditional copper pot stills, Adictivo Extra Añejo spends a minimum of three years aging in French oak barrels, a choice that distinguishes it from many competitors who favor American oak. This extended maturation in French wood imparts a refined tannic structure and layers of complexity that lean toward dried fruit and baking spice rather than the heavier caramel and vanilla notes typical of bourbon barrel aging. The result is a tequila that approaches cognac territory in its depth and smoothness while maintaining enough agave character to remind you of its origins. Bottled at 40 percent ABV, it presents a deep amber color that speaks to its time in wood. For sipping neat or alongside a quality cigar, Adictivo Extra Añejo offers a compelling option for those seeking aged tequila with European oak influence at a moderate price point within the extra añejo category.
