Amor Mio Gran Reserva Anejo Tequila
Amor Mio Gran Reserva Anejo Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) añejo aged a full 24 months in French and American oak barrels — twice the añejo minimum — from NOM 1466 in Jalisco's Los Valles region. Amor Mío ("my love") was founded in 1996 by Jesús Partida as a true estate brand: it owns its agave fields, its distillery (Tequila Tres Mujeres), and its bottling facility. The agave is estate-grown Blue Weber, matured eight-plus years before harvest, slow-roasted in stone and brick ovens, roller-milled, naturally fermented, and double-distilled. Then it arrives in the brand's signature: a hand-painted Majolica ceramic bottle from the artisans of Dolores Hidalgo, each one unique. This 750mL bottle is extra-añejo depth at añejo pricing, in a bottle you'll keep. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Two Years in Oak, One of a Kind in Ceramic
Most añejos stop at twelve months; Gran Reserva keeps going for twenty-four, in a mix of French and American oak. The extra time shows: vanilla, cinnamon, hazelnut, and prune layered over cooked agave, with maple, caramel, toffee, and almond from the wood, finishing long and velvety with warm oak and cocoa. But the bottle is the other half of the story — hand-painted Majolica ceramic celebrating Mexican folk art, made by artisans in Dolores Hidalgo, so no two bottles are identical. It's the rare tequila bought as much for the shelf as for the glass. Compare long-aged añejos in our tequila collection or browse Amor Mio.
Tasting Notes
Nose: vanilla, cinnamon, hazelnut, prune, and oak — with maple, caramel, and toffee. Palate: vanilla, cinnamon, cooked agave, and prune over warm wood and hazelnut, with dried spice and a whisper of raw agave. Finish: long and velvety — warm oak, cocoa, and lingering sweet spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter or tequila glass — this is a sipping añejo, built for slow evenings. Save the ceramic bottle afterward; it's a genuine piece of Mexican folk art.
