Anejo must have matured for at least 1 year. However, this 1800 Anejo has matured over 14 months. The special feature of the 1800 is that it matures on small barrels of French oak. That's from where this 100% Agave Tequila gets the soft spicy taste with wood tones. The name 1800 refers to the year in which Tequila originated. The Agave is harvested when it is fully grown; between 8 and 12 years old. The Agave is steamed for 2 days, chopped and fermented in pieces. After 2 x distillation in a copper kettle, the product may be called Tequila.
