Compoveda Debuts Añejo Tequila Aged in Bourbon and Cabernet Barrels

By aging 100% Blue Weber agave in a combination of ex-bourbon and Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon casks, Compoveda Tequila is attempting to blur the lines between spirits categories. The new Añejo expression, produced at NOM 1068 in Los Altos, Jalisco, targets drinkers looking for a complex, whiskey-like sipping experience.

Master distiller Sixto Garcia oversees the production of this latest release, which is bottled at 40% ABV. The spirit presents an initial profile of bright agave and vanilla, transitioning into notes of toasted oak and dried fruit with a tannin-forward finish. According to Compoveda founder and CEO Keith Antoon, the goal was to craft a product that appeals specifically to wine and bourbon enthusiasts who might otherwise overlook the tequila category.

This launch arrives as the demand for premium, craft-distilled tequila continues to reshape consumer habits. By emphasizing a slow-sipping experience rather than traditional consumption methods, the brand aims to position its Añejo as a versatile alternative for classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned. The expression is currently rolling out to select national retailers, restaurants, and the brand's digital storefront.
