It is a spirit that bridges the gap between ancient agricultural tradition and modern distillation mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged for 18 months in a single charred oak barrel and bottled at a robust 48% Alc\/Vol (96 Proof), this Añejo expression offers a depth and intensity that demands attention.

As it opens up, you’ll find notes of charred cinnamon sticks, roasted pecans, and a hint of sun-dried tobacco leaf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Full-bodied and intense. The high proof delivers an immediate warmth, followed by layers of salted caramel, dark cocoa, and leather. The signature Oaxacan corn sweetness is there, but it is beautifully tempered by the dry, smoky tannins of the oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long, bold, and incredibly savory. It finishes with a lingering trail of ancho chili spice, vanilla bean, and a faint, pleasant hint of woodsmoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55240152481960,"sku":"7503032776040","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/9764\/6760\/files\/MaizNationAnejoWhiskey700ml.png?v=1770675239","url":"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/products\/maiz-nation-oaxacan-anejo-whiskey-700ml","provider":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
