Adictivo Ceramic Black Anejo Tequila
Adictivo Ceramic Black Anejo Tequila is as much sculpture as spirit — an 80-proof (40% ABV) 100% blue Weber agave añejo in a 750mL hand-made, hand-painted black ceramic decanter. The añejo rests about two years in oak, and the black ceramic is Adictivo's signature: each expression gets its own decanter color, and black means añejo. Made in El Arenal, Jalisco, by founder and master distiller Gildardo Partida — from a tequilero family — the agave is slow-cooked in brick ovens and double-distilled in copper pot stills. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Black Decanter
Adictivo's ceramic bottles are rounded like Pacific waves and painted by hand — the black one signals the añejo inside, deep golden-amber from its two years in wood. It is the rare bottle that gets kept long after the last pour. Explore the Adictivo collection or shop more tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Dried fruits, toasted oak, caramel, and vanilla on the nose; silky on the palate — dried fruit, oak, caramel, vanilla, a hint of spice; a long, sweet, delicate finish (retailer consensus).
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter to do the decanter justice — or save it for the collector shelf and pour the standard añejo for cocktails. Either way, rinse and keep the bottle.
