Flecha Azul Extra Anejo offers a smooth sophistication with a sweet lean and a polished finish, embodying the art of tequila aging at its finest. Meticulously aged for 36 months in American white oak barrels, this extra anejo tequila is crafted in Arandas at NOM 1468 (El Viejito), a renowned Highlands distillery celebrated for its elegant and clean distillates.
This tequila strikes a perfect balance where time enhances rather than overwhelms the agave’s natural character. The result is a refined expression marked by a soft oak influence and a warm, approachable highland sweetness. Its deep amber hue reflects the richness developed during the slow maturation in ex-bourbon barrels.
On the nose, Flecha Azul Extra Anejo reveals inviting layers of caramelized agave, vanilla pod, toasted oak, and cinnamon bark, enriched by subtle hints of dried fig, roasted nuts, and cocoa powder. This aromatic complexity is rounded by a gentle warmth reminiscent of a cedar humidor fused with baked agave syrup.
The palate is seamless and velvety, delivering luxurious notes of dark toffee, oak spice, burnt orange peel, and delicate baking spices. The silky texture allows these flavors to glide effortlessly, with the agave’s sweetness unfolding softly like cooked fruit folded into custard. Barrel influence is prominent yet never overpowering—no tannic bitterness or clashing flavors, just a long, slow exhale of toasted wood and molasses.
The finish is warm and lingering, with elegant touches of vanilla bean, black tea, and a flicker of clove. A subtle Highland minerality emerges at the very end, completing a refined and contemplative sipping experience.

- Crafted by master distillers Marquez, Lopez, and Jalisco’s finest, uniting heritage and purity.
