A couple of weeks ago, we shared our thoughts on Storywood Reposado, a Tequila that is aged for 7 months in Speyside whisky barrels. On today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table, we’re returning to Storywood for a taste of their Anejo Tequila that is aged for 14 months in Speyside whisky barrels.

Here are a few words about the  Storywood  brand and their Anejo Tequila expression:

Storywood is known for being the first tequila to be aged in whisky barrels from Speyside, Scotland.

Both Storywood Reposado and Añejo tequilas begin with 10-year-old mature 100% blue Weber agave, harvested from the lowland region of Jalisco then married with the natural spring water from Volcan de Tequila that flows down from the mountains. The tequila is produced by master distiller Carlos Hernandez Ramos from La Cofradia then aged in the finest of oak casks from Speyside, Scotland.

The multi-award winning Añejo Speyside 14 is aged for 14 months in medium char single malt Scotch whisky barrels from Dufftown, Scotland. The oak aging enhances the earthy, herbal notes and layers in toasted oak, roasted nuts, and treacle toffee flavors.

We really enjoyed the Reposado expression from Storywood and were curious to see what effect 7 extra months in a barrel would have on their Tequila. To find out what we thought, click play on the following video:
