This is where Celaya really shows its ambition. The Añejo is 100% agave, certified additive free, and produced at Casa Maestri, NOM 1438, from the brand’s proprietary blend of Highland and Lowland tequilas. That dual-source profile gives the spirit both aromatic lift and grounded agave depth, while 15 months in barrel adds the darker, spicier frame expected from a proper añejo without smothering the base material. The tech sheet describes it as dark, layered with spice and barrel, smooth wood finish, and sweet agave, and that’s exactly the right lane for it: richer than the Reposado, more contemplative than the Blanco, but still connected to the plant. What makes Celaya stand out is that it avoids the tired celebrity-tequila trap. The story is there, of course: retired NFL brothers Ryan and Matt Kalil honoring their family history and the memory of Jose Celaya, who reportedly crafted tequila in Sonora in the late 1800s. But the bottle does not coast on the story. Additive free, properly aged, deeply flavored, and tied to a $1-per-bottle donation supporting affordable housing for agave farmers and distillery workers in Jalisco, this is a thoughtful añejo with real purpose and real presence.
