The distillery operates in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, where agave grows at higher elevations in iron-rich red clay soil, producing plants with higher sugar content. Mijenta uses traditional slow-cooked brick ovens to roast their 100% blue Weber agave before distilling in copper pot stills. The Symphony Series is defined by its unconventional cooperage—rather than aging in a single wood type, barrels are constructed from staves of multiple wood varietals, creating a layered interaction between spirit and wood that standard barrels cannot replicate. Each numbered release in the series features a different stave combination, making every installment a distinct expression. As an añejo, this bottling has been aged for a minimum of 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-cooked agave and warm vanilla emerge first, followed by toasted oak, cinnamon bark, and a suggestion of dried stone fruit.

Secondary notes of dried fig, toasted almond, and subtle tannic structure from the varied wood staves add depth.

The No. 3 edition represents the continued evolution of that concept, offering a flavor profile that cannot be replicated once the batch is exhausted. At 45% ABV, it carries more intensity and structure than many añejos bottled at the standard 40%, preserving barrel-derived complexity without sacrificing approachability. For collectors following the Symphony Series arc, this is a chapter that won't be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mijenta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53969079927098,"sku":"42516","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/omgcheers.com\/products\/mijenta-anejo-symphony-series-no-3-750ml","provider":"OMGCHEERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
