Tequila 512 Anejo, Jalisco, Mexico

A wonderful Añejo built on the rock-solid Tequila foundation that will put Austin on the Tequila map.

Scott Willis founded Tequila 512 in 2012 as a side hustle while working as a rep for a learning software company. Inspired by Tito’s Vodka, he traveled back and forth from his home in Austin, Texas, to Jalisco in search of the perfect daily sipping Tequila — one that working folks could afford and enjoy. On one of those trips he found Luis Trejo — master distiller at Distillerie La Cofradia. And then he twisted the standard Tequila process by adding a third distillation. Magic ensued, and things are going very well. Scott now has a full team of Tequila-loving folks working full time to create and market their innovative agave Spirit.

What do you do when you have made a Double Gold Medal winning Blanco and then built a Reposado on that foundation? The answer is clear. You make an Añejo.

Like the rest of the lineup, 512 Tequila Añejo is built on the foundation of their pure, 100% pure Weber blue agave Spirit. And they only use volcanic spring water, a slow 24-hour filtration, and special oxidation process to ensure the smoothness. Finally, this Añejo takes is aged in ex-Bourbon casks for a minimum of twelve months. Muy bueno!
