Introducing Castillo 1815 Añejo: A New Chapter in Agave Craft

At End of Days Distillery, we’ve always believed in honoring the traditions of craft spirits while pushing boundaries. Our newest release, Castillo 1815 Añejo, is no exception—a beautifully aged agave spirit that brings together old-world methods and our distinct coastal character.

Aged to Perfection

What sets Castillo 1815 Añejo apart? It starts with 100% blue agave, traditionally fermented in open air and double-distilled in copper pot stills. From there, we rest the spirit for a minimum of one year in #3 char American oak barrels—each of which previously held our award-winning Castaway Series Rum. The result is a complex, luxurious spirit that captures both time and terroir.

Tasting Notes

Expect an elegant profile from start to finish:

• Aromas of vanilla bean, dark caramel, roasted agave, and toasted oak

• A silky palate of butterscotch, spiced chocolate, dried fruit, and vibrant agave

• Subtle undertones of toasted pecan, cinnamon, and a whisper of tropical fruit

• A long, warm finish with notes of vanilla, spiced oak, and dark honey

This is a spirit meant to be savored slowly, shared with good company, and appreciated for its depth.

A Tribute to Craft

“Castillo 1815 Añejo is our tribute to the original craft of making high-quality tequila,” says Shane Faulkner, Founder of End of Days Distillery. “We’re proud to offer something that honors the heritage of agave spirits while adding our own Carolina soul to the process.”

Our Añejo is also 100% additive-free, meaning no shortcuts—just time, tradition, and honest craftsmanship.

Join Us for the Release Party

To celebrate the launch, we’re hosting an exclusive Release Party on May 4th, 2025, from 12–3PM at the distillery. Guests will be among the first to taste Castillo 1815 Añejo, enjoy a coastal-inspired bite from Chef Tee (Sap Lai), and sip on a handcrafted cocktail built around the new spirit.

Tickets include early access to purchase bottles before they hit the wider market.

What’s an Agave Spirit?

While Castillo 1815 Añejo shares its roots with tequila, it’s made outside of Mexico—right here in Wilmington, NC. That’s why it’s referred to as an agave spirit. Unlike many mass-produced tequilas that rely on additives and immature agave, our Añejo is crafted using only fully mature blue agave and time-honored processes that bring out the pure, expressive flavor of the plant.

Available Nationwide

In addition to being available at the distillery and select North Carolina ABC Stores, Castillo 1815 Añejo is now available for direct-to-door shipping in 45 states as part of our new direct-to-consumer program.
