Prospero Tequila Añejo is produced from blue agave grown in the Tequila Valley and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. Bottled at 40% ABV, it was created by master distiller Stella Anguiano
As with all of the Prospero lineup, I was not a fan of this tequila. It isn’t as cloyingly sweet as the blanco and the reposado, but the agave notes are concealed and the wood didn’t impart enough character to develop enjoyable añejo flavors.
The palate opens opens with dried herbs and mild jalapeño heat, fading into a long coconut and vanilla cream finish, braced up with baking spice sparks. Overall, excellent example of an añejo.
