Some exciting añejos, cristalinos and reposados have hit the market
Some among us would consider tequila essential this year more than ever as we live through our “Life with Covid-19” reality show. At first, the Mexican government wasn’t among them, shutting down tequila production as a nonessential industry.
Riazul Extra Añejo
You can practically feel the elegance emanating from this handsomely bottled four-year-old amber tequila, which has spent its first three years maturing in American ex-bourbon barrels before receiving a robust final year in Oloroso Sherry casks.
Casa Dragones Barrel Blend Añejo
Fans of this brand’s crystal clear Joven and Blanco—which include not only tequila connoisseurs, but mixologists and celebrity chefs—have a new reason to rejoice.
1800 Cristalino Añejo
Another new entry in what is becoming the fastest growing category within the tequila industry, 1800 Cristalino Añejo starts out with the distillery’s 1800 Añejo, which is aged for 16 months in both new American and French oak barrels before being blended together.
El Tequileño Reposado Rare
Although this under-the-radar tequila has been around for more than 60 years, the newest expression of this family-owned distillery may bring it into the spotlight, as it is one of the most unique tequilas in its category. Think of it as an extra-aged reposado, but with much more depth.
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Añejo
You might not think of mixing Irish whiskey in with your glass of añejo, but Jose Cuervo’s Master Distiller, Alex Coronado, was intrigued by the similarities in textures between his double distilled tequilas and certain triple distilled Irish whiskeys.
Corazón Añejo Aged in William LaRue Weller Barrels

Major investments from celebrities and drinks giants have pushed agave spirits into the spotlight – but which Tequilas and mezcals pass the taste test?
Sierra Milenario Tequila Extra Añejo
Looking for a slow-sipping top-shelf Tequila? Look no further than Sierra Milenario Extra Añejo, which took home the highest accolade in our blind-tasting competition – the Taste Master award.
Teremana Tequila Blanco
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Teremana Tequila has gained more than a few loyal fans since it launched in March 2020 – last year, the brand sold more than 600,000 nine-litre cases.
El Mayor Tequila Añejo
Luxco’s El Mayor brand snapped up a Master medal among the Añejo bottlings in our competition thanks to its “bright agave on the nose, salted caramel notes” and “great balance of spirit and wood”.
Noble Coyote – Coyote de Amatlán
Mezcal brand Noble Coyote was a firm favourite in the competition with its Coyote de Amatlán expression, made from the agave Coyote. Our judges described it as “quite salty on the nose, with sea aromas”, and found that it boasted “lots of character and funky notes” on the palate.
El Tequileño The Sassenach Select Double Wood Reposado

Avión Reserva 44
In what may have been the flashiest Tequila flight of our blind tasting, Ultra-Premium Extra Añejo, Avión Reserva 44 left a lasting impression. It garnered a Master award thanks to its “nutty” aroma and “moreish” palate, featuring flavours of “chocolate, toffee and citrus peel”.
1. Roca Patrón Reposado
We love the Grand Patrón Burdeos ( find it here ), which is twice-distilled and aged in used American and new French Oak barrels, before being finished in vintage Bordeaux barrels (Burdeos means Bordeaux in Spanish). It’s like a fine wine that’s been aged to perfection.
2. Casamigos Blanco
Casamigos is a favorite among the Hollywood crowd, thanks to its co-founder George Clooney, but it’s actually got a lot of substance to go with its style. One of the smoothest, most natural tasting tequilas on our list, Casamigos is made in the Jalisco highlands from 100% agave.
3. Santo Mezquila
When it comes to celebrity tequila brands (or just premium tequila, for that matter), rock and roll legend Sammy Hagar is the original. He’s been in the tequila business for almost thirty years, starting out with the award-winning Cabo Wabo brand back in 1991.
4. Fortaleza Blanco Tequila
This tequila is produced in the lowlands of the Jalisco region, so it won’t exhibit the same sweetness or fruit-forward flavors as some of the other picks on our list. Instead, you’ll pick up a slightly drying, more astringent palette of black pepper, dried herbs, olives and citrus.
5. Casa Noble Anejo Tequila
When anejo tequila is done right, it’s at once rich and flavorful, smooth yet complex. That’s what you get from Casa Noble’s anejo blend, aged in new French oak for two full years (most anejos are aged for a year max) with notes of dried fruit, toasted oak, creamy butterscotch, chocolate and spice.
6. Código 1530 Rosa Tequila
Smooth and delicate, Código 1530’s Rosa Tequila makes for perfect after-work sipping, or used in a hand-crafted cocktail. Produced using the tequila-making traditions of the Los Bajos region and its tequilieras, the tequila is meticulously aged in French White Oak red wine (Cabernet) barrels from Napa Valley.
7. Chamucos Blanco Tequila
A silky and savory tequila, Chamucos goes as well with Baja fish tacos as it does with a simple lime slice. A carefully handcrafted tequila produced in small batches, the Chamucos Blanco features notes of vanilla, citrus, cinnamon and fennel. It’s fresh and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and a hint of earthiness.
