Mijenta Añejo: A Symphony of Flavor and Elegance
This Friday, December 20th, Art of the Cocktail is thrilled to feature Mijenta Añejo Tequila, a spirit that harmoniously blends craftsmanship, innovation, and tradition. Aged for 18 months in four bespoke casks—American white oak, French oak, acacia, and cherry—Mijenta Añejo is an ultra-premium tequila that enchants with its complexity, elegance, and balance.
Crafted with Care and Tradition
Mijenta Añejo originates in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, a tequila heartland where rich volcanic soil nurtures the finest Tequilana Weber blue agave. The spirit undergoes meticulous production methods, from autoclave cooking and roller mill extraction to stainless-steel fermentation and double distillation. It’s additive-free, ensuring the purest expression of agave and cask aging.
An Experience for the Senses
On the Nose
Mijenta Añejo introduces itself with refined aromas of cacao nibs, butterscotch, and cooked agave. These are accompanied by subtle hints of tobacco, offering an elegant and enticing bouquet.
On the Eye
In the glass, its rich golden hue and copper highlights showcase the meticulous aging process across multiple casks. The vibrant tones hint at the depth and complexity that await.
On the Palate
Smooth and velvety, Mijenta Añejo reveals an orchestra of flavors. Dried fruits, warming spices, and a touch of coffee create a rich tapestry. The profile culminates in a lingering finish of chocolate and mint, evoking the elegance of fine champagne or dessert wines.
