More than just a sipping tequila, Calle 23 Añejo is a tribute to balance — between science and soul, tradition and technique. It’s crafted not by a committee, but by one woman’s clear vision and relentless dedication to making tequila that tells a story in every glass.
A Bold Expression of Patience and Craftsmanship
Calle 23 Añejo is distilled from 100% hand-harvested blue Weber agave, cooked slowly in autoclaves to preserve the plant’s natural sweetness. The juice is fermented using proprietary yeast developed by Sophie herself, a nod to her background in microbiology, which gives the tequila its distinctive aromatic fingerprint.
Once distilled, the Añejo is aged for 16 months in ex-bourbon barrels — longer than the minimum required — allowing the spirit to develop a rich, golden hue and a layered, complex profile. This extra time in oak imparts warm, woody notes while allowing the agave’s natural sweetness and spice to shine through.
Tasting profile
Nose
The aroma is rich and inviting, featuring sweet notes of caramel and fudge, complemented by a subtle hint of vanilla. These elements are balanced by a gentle oak presence, indicative of its maturation in American oak barrels. The nose is smooth and almost creamy, setting the stage for the tasting experience.
Taste
On the palate, Calle 23 Añejo presents a velvety mouthfeel with flavors of cooked agave, vanilla, and light oak. The aging process imparts a smoothness and depth, with subtle hints of chocolate and spice, creating a harmonious blend that is both complex and approachable.
Finish
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of agave sweetness and a touch of spice. This enduring finish underscores the tequila's quality and the meticulous aging process it undergoes.
