Mijenta “Symphony Series No. 3” Añejo Tequila Limited Edition – Multi-Oak Barrel Aged, 45% ABV

Mijenta Symphony Series No. 3 Añejo is a modern, design-driven tequila that pushes barrel aging into new territory. It delivers a richer, more layered profile than traditional añejo, while still preserving the agave core. This is a thoughtful, limited-edition tequila aimed at enthusiasts looking for complexity and innovation rather than pure tradition.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced in the highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco, Mijenta is an additive-free, sustainability-focused tequila led by Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero. The brand emphasizes precision distillation and terroir-driven agave expression.

The Symphony Series is built around experimental barrel construction. Instead of standard oak aging, this release uses “symphony barrels”—casks constructed from multiple oak sources (including American oak from different regions), each contributing distinct flavor characteristics.

For No. 3, the tequila is aged approximately 18 months in a mix of cask types (including American, French, and other specialty woods depending on the batch), creating a layered maturation environment.

The result is a tequila where barrel influence is more pronounced than in traditional añejo, but intentionally balanced so the agave remains present—an approach increasingly seen in high-end tequila innovation.

Tasting Profile

Nose: Vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak layered with citrus peel, baked agave, and subtle floral tones.

Palate: Rich and evolving—caramel, toffee, and spice lead into orange peel, cocoa, and soft tannin from the wood.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering sweetness, gentle bitterness, and a return of cooked agave beneath the oak.
