Description
Calle 23 Añejo Tequila 100% agave 70cl is an artisanal spirit shaped by two decades of expertise from Sophie Decobecq and produced in the fertile Highland region of Jalisco. Distilled from mature agave grown near San Pancho, this añejo combines careful oak maturation and precise blending to deliver a balanced, multi-layered tasting experience that rewards slow sipping.
The profile is defined by a warm, inviting aromatic core and a textured palate that evolves over time. Craftsmanship and terroir work together to create a spirit that is simultaneously elegant and characterful.
- Nose: Freshly baked vanilla, warm oak, ripe banana, toasted almond with hints of caramel and cinnamon.
- Palate: Velvety oak-driven body with black pepper and cinnamon, supported by the sweetness of cooked agave.
- Finish: Creamy, lingering notes of caramel, dark chocolate, vanilla and baked agave, closing with a subtle minty freshness.
This añejo suits both contemplative moments and refined gatherings. Recommended uses and pairings include:
- Serve neat or on the rocks to appreciate the spirit’s layered complexity.
- Garnish with a twist of orange or lime to brighten the aromatic frame.
- Cocktail ideas: Añejo Old Fashioned or Añejo Cobbler for a sophisticated reinterpretation.
- Food and pairing: Mature cheeses, dark chocolate desserts or a fine cigar for complementary depth.
Practical storage guidance to preserve the tequila’s character:
- Temperature: Store at a stable 10–16°C (50–60°F) away from heat sources.
- Light exposure: Keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and strong artificial light.
- Opened bottles: Reseal tightly and keep upright; consume within about one year for best flavor.
Calle 23 Añejo Tequila is an expressive, award-worthy spirit that captures the essence of Jalisco highlands and the refined vision of its producer. It delivers a memorable tasting arc—ideal for collectors and anyone seeking a distinguished tequila for sipping or elevated cocktails.

Storage advice
To best preserve the quality and shelf life of Tequila Añejo (100% agave) follow these practical storage recommendations:
- Temperature: Store tequila at a cool stable temperature ideally between 50°F and 60°F (10°C to 16°C). Temperatures above 65°F (18°C) or fluctuating temperatures can accelerate degradation so avoid heat sources and temperature swings.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light. Light exposure can deteriorate the tequila’s delicate compounds leading to altered flavor and aroma.
- Sealing:
- For unopened bottles the factory seal is sufficient and the tequila can last for years without quality loss if stored properly.
- For opened bottles reseal tightly immediately after use to minimize air exposure. If the original cork or seal wears out consider transferring the tequila to an airtight container to slow oxidation which negatively impacts flavor over time.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright not on their side. Unlike wine tequila’s high alcohol content can degrade corks if stored horizontally potentially affecting flavor and risking leakage.
- Humidity: While no specific humidity requirements are usually noted for tequila (unlike wine or cigars) storing in a normal indoor humidity environment away from excessive moisture or dryness helps protect any cork components and seals.
- Special Storage Tips for Tequila Añejo:
- Avoid storing near stoves heaters or windows where heat or temperature fluctuations occur.
- Do not refrigerate or freeze; this is unnecessary and can affect taste or bottle integrity.
- Opened bottles are best consumed within about one year to enjoy optimal flavor though unopened bottles can remain stable for many years given proper conditions.
