Deep bronze color with medium body and high viscosity. It has a slightly spicy aroma, followed by notes of dried chili, spices, cinnamon, cocoa, tamarind, and wet wood complemented with light herbal notes. The flavor is pleasantly sweet, followed by the true taste of chili - with moderate heat - and mild sourness. With hints of spices, tamarind, plum, cacao, apple, and almonds, as well as subtle notes of herbs. A pleasantly lingering spicy finish.

Enjoyed in cocktails because of that spicy finish but also neat.

The labeling of the beautiful Ancho Reyes Original bottle

Ivan Saldaña, the creator of the Ancho Reyes & Montelobos

Ancho Reyes Liqueurs are handcrafted using chiles native to Puebla, reviving the time-honored techniques for making menjurjes mastered by artisans in the 1920’s. In the cantinas of Barrio del Artista quarter in Puebla, the passionate conversations are usually accompanied by unique “menjurjes”— these are homemade potions created from a blend of native ingredients and local knowledge. A particularly popular menjurje was the one created by the Reyes family, the only one made from Puebla's signature crop: the precious "Chile Ancho".

Production details

Poblano chiles are cultivated in the volcano-enriched soils of Puebla, one by one the chiles are handpicked and selected for quality. All chiles used in the process are sun-dried for between 15-20 days and then scissor-sliced by hand before putting them to rest with a neutral cane spirit from Veracruz, Mexico. The mixture rests to allow the flavors to combine perfectly.
