Doña Mariana
Amate Añejo
Amate Añejo is a tequila from NOM 1173 that presents as smooth with a sweet, viscous finish. The nose offers notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and mint alongside medicinal harshness and slight alcohol. Palate notes include heavy vanilla, apple, pepper, and oak bitterness balanced by sweet caramel. While some find it one-dimensional or overly sweet, others note a pleasant dryness and spice from the oak. It finishes with a short, mellow character that lacks complexity but remains approachable for sipping without significant burn.
