{"product_id":"hornitos-anejo","title":"Hornitos Añejo Tequila 750 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHornitos Añejo is the aged expression of the Sauza family's 100% blue agave brand — 100% blue agave tequila from Tequila, Jalisco aged a minimum of one year in American white oak barrels, producing the deep amber color and rich flavor profile of chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, dried fruit, and toasted wood that extended barrel maturation develops from the Hornitos agave base, with a slightly dry finish and a strong agave nectar quality that carries through despite the aging.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHornitos was founded in 1950 by Don Francisco Javier Sauza, named for the traditional \"hornitos\" (little ovens) used to roast agave in conventional tequila production. The Sauza family's tequila heritage dates to the 19th century, making Hornitos one of the longer-established 100% blue agave brands in Mexico. The añejo designation requires a minimum of one year in barrel (vs. two months for reposado) — the additional oak contact transforms the fresh agave and citrus character of the plata into the chocolate, hazelnut, and dried fruit profile that makes the añejo suited to neat sipping or cocktails where aged complexity is the target. American white oak contributes vanilla and caramel compounds that complement the natural sweetness of the agave without overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complex and warm — chocolate, hazelnut, dried fruit, and toasted wood with the agave character still present underneath\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and full-bodied — vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate, and dried fruit from the American oak aging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slightly dry with a strong agave nectar quality carrying through the oak-derived complexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hornitos, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico (est. 1950)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Añejo Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 1 year in American white oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anejo\"\u003eañejo tequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does Hornitos Añejo differ from Hornitos Plata?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlata is bottled unaged — fresh agave, herbal and citrus character.
