Añejo, meaning “aged”, is aged from one to three years and has a rich, smooth, and complex flavor profile, making it ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks. Extra añejo, the newest classification, is aged for more than three years and is considered the premium tequila with a rich, smooth, and highly refined flavor profile. Mezcal, which is often confused with Tequila, is made from a different species of agave, called Espadín. It is a smoky and complex spirit, traditionally produced in a small number of Mexican villages.
Mezcal has a distinct flavor profile, thanks to the cooking process, which involves roasting the agave in a pit oven. Tequila has a long and rich history in Mexico and has played an important role in the country's culture for centuries. The drink was first produced by indigenous people in the 16th century and was later adopted by Spanish settlers. Today, tequila is one of Mexico's most iconic exports and is widely popular around the world.
