Teremana Anejo 750ML

Teremana Añejo 750ML is a 100% blue weber agave tequila aged in American whiskey barrels, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Produced at Destilería Teremana de Agave in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, this añejo distinguishes itself through a fully handcrafted production process — from three-day brick-oven roasting to hand-dipped black wax sealing on every bottle.
Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco Highlands, Mexico  |  Añejo Tequila  |  Distillery: Destilería Teremana de Agave
Production & Heritage
Destilería Teremana de Agave sits in the highest peaks of Jalisco’s highland agave region, where blue weber agave is harvested by hand and slow-roasted for approximately three days in small, traditional 24-ton brick ovens. The roasted agave is then distilled in copper pot stills handmade on-site at the distillery — a detail that gives the house considerable control over its spirit’s character. After distillation, the tequila rests in American whiskey barrels, building layers of oak and vanilla before each finished bottle receives a hand-dipped black wax seal at the distillery.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Vanilla and roasted agave lead the nose immediately, followed by warm oak and a subtle backdrop of spice. As the glass breathes, faint jalapeño and butterscotch notes emerge, adding unexpected depth.
Taste: Honey and butterscotch coat the entry, creating a rich, approachable sweetness on the front palate. Through the mid-palate, bracing clove, cayenne, and white pepper push through, balancing the sweetness with a lively spice-driven backbone. Roasted agave remains a constant thread, grounding each sip in its highland origin.
Finish: Medium-long with a lightly sweet fade that keeps the palate engaged without overstaying. Vanilla and warm oak linger alongside a pleasant peppery warmth that recalls the mid-palate spice.
How to Drink Teremana Añejo
This añejo drinks well neat at room temperature or over a single large ice cube, where the warmth of its oak and vanilla slowly opens up. For a Tequila Old Fashioned, the barrel-aged character and vanilla complement bitters and orange peel naturally. A Dark Margarita benefits from the añejo’s caramel depth set against fresh lime juice. It also works in an Añejo Manhattan, where the oak and spice notes step in for whiskey with surprising confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Teremana Añejo taste like? Teremana Añejo delivers honey and butterscotch sweetness balanced by clove, cayenne, and white pepper spice, with a persistent foundation of roasted agave and warm oak. The finish is medium-long and lightly sweet with lingering vanilla.
How does Teremana Añejo compare to Casamigos Añejo? Teremana Añejo tends toward a spicier, more agave-forward profile with notable pepper and clove notes, while Casamigos Añejo generally leans softer and sweeter with more pronounced caramel. Teremana outsold Casamigos by 830,000 cases in 2023, driven in large part by its value positioning in the añejo category.
Is Teremana Añejo good for sipping neat? Teremana Añejo is well-suited to sipping neat thanks to its balanced sweetness, approachable 40% ABV, and layered spice that keeps each sip engaging. A single ice cube can further open up the vanilla and oak aromas without diluting the flavor.
Where is Teremana Añejo made? Teremana Añejo is produced at Destilería Teremana de Agave, located in the highland peaks of Jalisco, Mexico. The highland terroir — with its higher altitude, cooler nights, and mineral-rich red clay soil — contributes to the agave’s natural sweetness and aromatic complexity.
What foods pair well with Teremana Añejo? Grilled carne asada highlights the tequila’s smoky roasted agave notes. Dark chocolate complements the vanilla and oak warmth. Aged manchego echoes the barrel-aged richness. Mole dishes mirror the complex spice profile, and churros with caramel sauce play directly off the butterscotch sweetness.
What sizes does Teremana Añejo come in? Teremana Añejo is available in the standard 750ml bottle, which features the brand’s signature hand-dipped black wax finish.
Is Teremana Añejo worth the price? Teremana Añejo positions as a strong value entry in the añejo tequila category, delivering brick-oven roasted agave and American whiskey barrel aging at a price point well below many comparable 100% agave añejos. For a handcrafted expression with this level of production detail, it represents compelling value.
Why Teremana Añejo?
Every step in producing this añejo is done by hand — from harvesting highland blue weber agave to slow-roasting it for three days in traditional brick ovens, distilling in copper pot stills built at the distillery, and finally dipping each finished bottle in black wax on-site. That level of hands-on, single-distillery production is uncommon at this price tier. The result is an añejo with genuine agave character that hasn’t been polished into anonymity by excessive oak, making it a credible entry point into aged tequila that still rewards attentive sipping.
