A truly unique Tequila with deep, rich, and complex flavors spilling over the glass.
About twenty years ago, Iñaki Orozco inherited 620 acres of land in the Jalisco State. We call that a jackpot! The land had been passed down in the family for nearly two hundred years, but had never been developed or planted. Iñaki saw the potential and — over the next few years — he planted 175,000 shoots of Weber Blue Agave on his land. The first harvest in 2008 yielded the first bottles of Riazul Tequila. Today, Riazul’s three core Tequilas are highly-rated and award-winning examples of Mexican pride.
Just like a fine Single Malt Whisky, Riazul Tequila Añejo is made exceptional by the specialness of the wood and the length of the aging. It’s aged a full two years — longer than any other añejo Tequila in its class. And it’s aged in French XO Cognac casks made from Burgundy oak. Quite frankly, we haven’t sampled any other Tequilas that do it that way. No wonder it scored 94 points and is so highly regarded by Tequila experts. If you’re a fan of fine Tequila, you’ve got to get a bottle and try it for yourself.
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Riazul Tequila Añejo and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Tequila goes bad with time. Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidization and evaporation diminish the Tequila quality and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Not a fanfic this one. The butter and caramel are too strong and make this too sweet. It’s drinkable but I think I will be baking or mixing this one rather than sipping.
Scott,
A bit of a bite ... not as smooth as one would expected from an Anejo.
Jeffrey,
This is one of the smoothest tequilas I have ever tasted. Great finish.
Zack,
Smooth, delicious, with a strong but not overpowering caramel. Great for sipping! Don't know much about tequila but got this based off of other Flaviar reviews and was not disappointed!
Christopher,
This is a terrific tequila...straight up with a single ice cube. Love it. Will buy it again and again.

Love the smoothness of this tequila and the extra flavors from being finished in cognac barrels

Buttery. Very easy sipping. Good price.

Dr.,
Found the same after taste
Lelia,
Beautiful sipper! Just a hint of sweet, just the way I like my Añejo. Adding to my favs!
Lelia,
Nice, smooth, a hint of sweet. A sipper. Will add to the favs. Worth the price.
Patrick,
My absolute favorite sipping tequila, warm smooth caramel with just the right amount of tequila bite.
Heather,
Very smooth with just a hint of sweet. I couldn’t even taste the tequila until the end of the sip. Will buy again.
Bruce,
Delicious and smooth. Anise and sweet caramel with a peppery nose and agave undertones
Robert,
Excellent
Scott,
A great neat pour and antidote to people who think tequila is for sugary mixed drinks.
Danny,
Excellent straight or on the rocks.
Brian,
Hard to find another anejo this smooth and complex under $50. A must try for any real tequila fan!
Daniel,
This is my favorite tequila. Smooth long finish, perfect for sipping neat. My only knock on this one is that it doesn’t have as much of the tequila / agave flavor that you expect in a tequila. Otherwise it’s perfect
Seth,
Eye opening tequila - so good it makes you realize you haven't really had something quite on this level before. I've had some very expensive big brand label tequilas that were far less impressive than this. Exceptional stuff. Absolutely perfect. Silky smooth with depth and slightly sweet without even a hint of syrup - hint of fruit on nose and exhale. Slight smoke on tongue.
Larry,
Lamp Spleen??? Wish I didn’t know now, what I didn’t know a moment ago. I love the tequila. The flavors are just amazing. Some of the best tequila I have ever enjoyed.
Jay,
Relying on my 40 years of drinking all kinds and brands of tequila,
this is the smoothest, most tasty, and finest ever. You will never go back to any other brand.
Sean,
Fantastic Anejo! I had to replace my sadly departed bottle from Arizona and i couldn't be happier. Lovely smooth sipping tequila. As mentioned, don't mix this, just have it straight. Flavor spiral is pretty accurate, the notes of caramel come through clearly, though i also got some vanilla which was nice.
al,
barely drinkable. tasted as if it came from a fish house.
Allyson,
Not generally a tequila fan but this is fantastic. It’s perfect for sipping and mixing. The flavor spiral is spot on. This is a new staple in my home bar.
Gino,
One of the best anejo tequilas I've ever had! Definitely a sipper for me, sweet, smooth and savory! With a nose that will keep you coming back.
Rich,
Fantastic smooth tequila. So surprised at first taste. Don’t make a Marquita, put it in a sipping glass.
Matthew,
This is almost too complex for my taste. I know, that’s counterintuitive for describing spirits, but I feel there isn’t enough tequila in this tequila.
Not bad, not bad at all... but for me, just a little too busy.
Donald,
Loved it! Amazing sipper! As complex and enjoyable as life itself. Highly recommended.
David,
Absolute blown away by this tequila's flavor. I was expecting the smoking flavor of typical anejos. This has a very fruit forward, deep, and unique flavor. It tastes a bit like some sort of citrus crossed with bubble gum. I would definitely recommend.
Robin,
This is the smoothest tequila i've had. We drink it neat.
Bruce,
Best tequila ever
Erica,
Smooth
lynne,
one of my favorite sipping tequilas -- great price point too!
