Description
To earn the distinction “añejo”, tequilas must aged for a minimum of one year, and most añejo tequilas are aged for only that long. Avión Añejo Tequila, however, is aged for two years (twice the requirement), and as a result has a rich amber color along with an aroma of burnt agaves, peaches and persimmon. The palate is filled with flavors of toasted wood, vanilla and caramel, and leads to an incredibly smooth finish marked by maple, coconut and and lemon squares.

Origins
To earn the distinction “añejo”, tequilas must aged for a minimum of one year, and most añejo tequilas are aged for only that long. Avión Añejo Tequila, however, is aged for two years, two times the industry standard.
In 2012, Avión Silver was voted "World's Best Tasting Tequila" and "Best Unaged White Spirit" at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition beating out all vodkas, gins, white rums and other tequilas. The unique history that led to this and other accolades began in the small town of Jesus Maria in Jalisco, Mexico. Avión Tequila is the brainchild of Ken Austin, longtime tequila aficionado and entrepreneur. Austin traversed Mexico’s Highlands region in search of the most coveted agave before finally encountering the Lopez family, fifth-generation agave growers located in Jesus Maria, and falling in love with their rich agave. Together, they honed their tequila-making skills, blending old-school techniques with newer methodologies and always ensuring that no corners were cut along the way.
