WHAT IS AN AGAVE SPIRIT?

THINK TEQUILA, MADE IN THE UNITED STATES

100% Blue Agave Spirits like Castillo 1815 distinguish themselves from other popular tequilas by their dedication to quality. Many commercial tequilas, in their haste, compromise by using immature agave plants, leading to an underdeveloped flavor profile. To compensate, additives like sugar and flavoring are introduced, often causing undesirable effects and taste.

TASTING NOTES:

Castillo 1815 Añejo is a beautifully matured expression that offers a rich and refined evolution of our agave spirit. Aged for a minimum of one year in #3 char American Oak barrels previously used for our Castaway Series Rum, this spirit reveals a luxurious bouquet of aromas—vanilla bean, dark caramel, roasted agave, dried figs, and a gentle waft of toasted oak.

The palate is full-bodied and silky, unfolding in waves of butterscotch, spiced chocolate, dried fruit, and rich agave undertones. Nuances of toasted pecan, cinnamon, and a whisper of tropical fruit nod to the rum-barrel influence, while deeper notes of oak and leather ground the experience. The finish is long, warm, and elegant—leaving impressions of vanilla, spiced oak, and a touch of dark honey.

DISTILLER NOTES:

Castillo 1815 Añejo is the pinnacle of patience and craftsmanship in the Castillo series. Made using traditional open-air fermentation and double distillation in copper pot stills, this spirit is a testament to the purity and depth that can be achieved when time is allowed to shape the final profile.

After distillation, the spirit is rested for a minimum of 12 months in #3 char American Oak barrels that once housed our award-winning Castaway Series Rum. These seasoned barrels contribute a unique harmony of oak depth and subtle rum sweetness—melding seamlessly with the concentrated agave character developed over time. The result is a remarkably smooth and complex Añejo with a deep flavor structure, rich body, and a finish that speaks to both tradition and innovation.
