Maya Pistola Agavepura has launched its highly anticipated Añejo and Extra Añejo variants in Mumbai. These variations mark a new chapter in the journey of the brand, which is Asia`s first premium 100 per cent Agave spirit, by offering connoisseurs an elevated sipping experience that embodies the artistry and tradition of agave distillation.
The Añejo (An-ye-ho), which means `vintage` in Spanish, is a highly acclaimed expression, delights with its smooth and nuanced character. With its deep golden-brown hue, Maya Pistola Añejo has an oaky nose of cocoa and dried figs, with a subtle smoky background. Each small-batch is aged for over 14 months in Virgin American White Oak, which imparts the notes of caramel and the fragrance of vanilla to the peppery, herbaceous agave spirit. Smooth and rich, this expression is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water. Called “enchanting and approachable” by the International World Spirits Competition, this spirit is enjoyed by single malt drinkers, and offers a touch of spiciness over a lingering sweetness.
