By Popular Demand: All-Añejo Tasting February 24

We've been hearing the same feedback at our last few tastings: more añejos! You asked for it, you got it!

Wednesday February 24, 8:00pm at Cha Taqueria in Northwest Portland (305 NW 21st Ave).

Añejos, considered by many to be the upper echelon of fine sipping tequilas, are aged in wood for over one year. This makes them complex, mellow spirits that stand up against world-class Scotches and brandies.

Añejo tequila is an ideal winter spirit, often featuring strong notes of vanilla, nuts and spices.

The tasting will be led by Experience Tequila owner Clayton Szczech, who spends several months each year doing research in Mexico's tequila country. Clayton will explain where each tequila is from, unique features of its production and be available to answer any questions you have about añejos, or tequila in general.

This flight of four tequilas will feature some ultra-premium and hard-to-find brands, and seating is limited. The cost is $40/person and advance payment is required. Light snacks will be provided by Cha Taquería.
