Dinastia Real Ceramic Calavera Anejo Tequila
80 proof (40% ABV) | 750mL | Añejo — aged in French white oak | NOM 1459 — Dinastia Real Ceramic Calavera is an añejo tequila presented in a hand-crafted, hand-painted ceramic skull — a calavera honoring Mexico's Day of the Dead tradition. The bottle is designed to be kept as a decorative decanter long after the tequila is gone, and each hand-painted bottle's artwork may vary.
The liquid inside is 100% blue Weber agave from around Amatitán, Jalisco, rested in French white oak at Tequila Selecto de Amatitán (NOM 1459) — the distillery behind a brand that claims 80+ years of tequila-making, founded in 1942. The añejo profile runs rich and warm: chocolate, vanilla, and cooked agave with almonds and walnuts, a golden-amber pour and a robust cooked-agave finish carried by gentle wood warmth. A gift, a display piece, and a genuinely good añejo — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
