Corzo Anejo 750ML

Corzo Anejo Tequila 750ml is a triple-distilled, double-aged añejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV from the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Scored 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, which described it as “mellow and elegant, with warm honey, agave and Sauternes flavors,” Corzo Anejo distinguishes itself through a production sequence rarely seen in the category — aging both before and after its final distillation pass.Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico  |  Añejo  |  100% Weber Blue Agave  |  Triple Distilled, Double AgedProduction & HeritageCorzo Anejo is produced in Arandas, in the Los Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco, using 100% Weber blue agave. What separates this tequila from standard añejo production is its unconventional triple-distillation and double-aging process. After a second distillation, the spirit rests for two to four months in American white oak barrels, then undergoes a rare third distillation before being transferred to French oak casks for its final maturation period. This additional distillation step between two aging phases strips away heavier congeners while allowing the wood influence from both barrel types to layer complexity into the finished spirit.Tasting NotesAroma: Vanilla custard rises immediately, followed by baked pears drizzled with honey and a light undercurrent of toasted oak. Subtle caramel sweetness rounds out the nose without becoming cloying.Taste: The entry is soft and honeyed, with agave sweetness meeting smooth toasted caramel at the mid-palate. As it develops, flavors of baking spice, scattered tea leaves, and touches of chocolate emerge. The mouthfeel is notably mellow and elegant, reflecting the extra refinement of that third distillation.Finish: A peppery agave spice builds at the back of the throat, balanced by lingering oak and a faint wisp of smoke. Soft vanillas and caramels remain on the tongue well after the swallow, giving it a long, warming conclusion.How to Drink Corzo AnejoSipping neat or with a single ice cube is the most rewarding approach, allowing the layered vanilla, honey, and spice character to unfold gradually. For cocktails, this añejo’s smooth profile and French oak complexity bring depth to several classics:
Añejo Old Fashioned — The vanilla custard and baking spice notes harmonize naturally with orange peel and Angostura bitters.
Tequila Manhattan — Corzo Anejo’s honeyed sweetness and peppery finish stand up well to sweet vermouth without losing agave identity.
Oaxacan-Inspired Sour — The caramel and chocolate undertones add richness when paired with citrus and agave syrup.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Corzo Anejo taste like? Corzo Anejo delivers a mellow, honeyed sweetness up front with vanilla custard, toasted caramel, and baked fruit, finishing with peppery agave spice and a light touch of smoke.How does Corzo Anejo compare to Cazadores Anejo? Both tequilas originate from the Jalisco Highlands and share 100% blue agave sourcing, but Corzo undergoes a third distillation between two separate aging periods — in American white oak and then French oak — resulting in a noticeably smoother, more refined texture than Cazadores Anejo’s more straightforward barrel-aged character.Is Corzo Anejo good for sipping neat? Yes — the triple-distillation process produces an exceptionally smooth spirit, and the double-aging in two different oak types creates enough complexity to reward slow, contemplative sipping.Where is Corzo Anejo made? Corzo Anejo is produced in Arandas, located in the Los Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco, Mexico, an area prized for its iron-rich red soils that produce sweeter, more fruit-forward agave.What foods pair well with Corzo Anejo? Dark chocolate truffles complement the cocoa and vanilla notes. Grilled stone fruit with honey mirrors the baked pear aromas. Aged Manchego cheese echoes the nutty oak character. Crème brûlée shares the same caramelized vanilla register. Mole-sauced dishes match the spirit’s layered spice and subtle smokiness.What sizes does Corzo Anejo come in? Corzo Anejo is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle, recognizable by its distinctive tall rectangular design.Is Corzo Anejo worth the price? Corzo Anejo positions as a premium añejo tequila, and the triple-distillation and double-aging process — combined with a 92-point Wine Enthusiast score — place it among well-regarded expressions in the upper-mid tier of the añejo market.Why Corzo Anejo?The defining feature of Corzo Anejo is its double-aging, triple-distillation production path — a method that inserts a third distillation between two distinct barrel maturation periods in American white oak and French oak. This is genuinely uncommon in tequila and produces a textural refinement that earned it 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. The result is a spirit where the agave core remains present but is wrapped in layered vanilla, honey, and baking spice that feel integrated rather than oak-dominated. For drinkers seeking an añejo with process-driven complexity rather than sheer barrel weight, Corzo Anejo represents a distinctive choice in the category.
