Two Years in American Oak
Chula Parranda is a small Jalisco label brought into the US by importer Mara Imports, and its anejo is built patiently: 100% Blue Weber agave given two full years in American oak — double the legal minimum for the anejo class — so the barrel contributes vanilla, raisin and caramel depth without erasing the agave underneath. Bottles in this line are presentation pieces in the Dia de los Muertos spirit the brand is known for; the liquid inside this 750mL is the standard 2-year anejo (the line's Ceramic and Extra Anejo bottlings are separate expressions). Browse the label on the Chula Parranda vendor page or explore the wider tequila shelf at Del Mesa.

How to Enjoy
The importer serves it neat or on the rocks, and two years of American oak make that the right call — a slow sipper rather than a mixer, though it pours a luxurious anejo Old Fashioned.
