The newest expression from the popular brand, Jon Basil Añejo, is a small-batch tequila crafted with traditional techniques using hand-harvested agave. It was matured for more than eighteen months in oak casks, resulting in a complex, nuanced, sippable tequila with a nose of roasted agave, chocolate, and vanilla beans. The palate is a symphony of dried fruit, toffee, oak, toasted vanilla beans, and gentle wintry spices. It’s best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed into your favorite tequila-based cocktails.
