The Ancho Chiles used to make Ancho Reyes are hand-picked when they are perfectly ripe, then sundried while being hand-turned, to dry and intensify their flavor. This results in a taste that is rich, warm, spicy and sweet.
Ancho Reyes Barrica Chile Ancho Liqueur is a unique and flavorful liqueur crafted from poblano peppers, specifically the Ancho chili, which is known for its mild heat and rich, smoky flavor. Originating from Puebla, Mexico, this liqueur is made by infusing the dried Ancho peppers in neutral spirits, then aged in American oak barrels to enhance its complexity and depth.
The Barrica expression of Ancho Reyes showcases a harmonious balance between sweetness and spice. It features robust flavors of dried fruit, caramel, and chocolate, complemented by a subtle smokiness and warm peppery notes. The aging process in barrels adds layers of vanilla and oak, enriching the overall experience.
This liqueur is versatile in cocktails, lending a distinctive kick to classic drinks like margaritas, old fashioneds, or even in creative mixology recipes. It can also be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, making it an excellent addition to any spirits collection. Ancho Reyes Barrica not only highlights the flavors of its ingredients but also pays homage to the rich culinary heritage of Mexico.
