To truly appreciate the complexity of an Anejo tequila, it is best enjoyed neat in a proper tasting glass. Pour a small measure and let it breathe for a few minutes to allow the aromas of agave and oak to fully express themselves.
Take a small sip and let the liquid coat your palate, noticing the transition from the initial sweetness of vanilla to the deeper, earthy notes of roasted agave. This slow, deliberate approach transforms a simple drink into a meditative experience.
If you prefer a slightly cooler temperature, a single large ice cube can be added. This will gently chill the spirit without diluting it too quickly, preserving the integrity of the aging process.
