Milagro Añejo
This Milagro Tequila creation is confectioned using 100% blue agave from the Jalisco Highlands in eastern Mexico. Triple-distilled in copper stills, Milagro Tequila Añejo is later aged in American oak barrels for up to 2 years. This unique process produces a taste that is smooth, refined yet still agave-forward. This work of art of Milagro Tequila’s Agave Expressionism has won 2 Gold Prizes in 2014 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and The Spirits of Mexico Competition.
