Southbound Tequila Anejo

Southbound Tequila Añejo represents the most contemplative expression in the Southbound lineup, built for slow sipping and extended enjoyment. Starting with fully mature blue Weber agave and produced in Jalisco, this tequila maintains an agave-forward core while allowing time in barrel to add depth and polish.

The tequila is aged over one year in Tennessee whiskey barrels, a program chosen for its ability to add richness without overwhelming the spirit. Extended aging brings layered notes of vanilla, chocolate, dry fruit, and gentle spice, while preserving the sweetness and structure of cooked agave.

On the palate, agave remains front and centre, followed by vanilla, cocoa, subtle wood tones, and hints of spice. The texture is slow and luxurious, with long legs and a well-rounded body that carries through to a lingering, composed finish.

As with all Southbound tequilas, this Añejo is completely additive-free – no added sweetness, flavouring, glycerin, or colouring. The bright amber colour and richness come solely from time in barrel and natural agave character.

This is a true sipping tequila, designed to be enjoyed unhurried and without distraction.
