Casino Azul Horse and Carriage Extra Anejo
Casino Azul Horse and Carriage Extra Anejo is a 1L sculptural-decanter tequila bottled at 40% ABV — the extra anejo of NOM 1466, Tequila Tres Mujeres in Amatitan, Jalisco, presented inside a carriage drawn by a horse: a limited-quantity collector's piece with a glass stopper, sold as much as art as spirit. The tequila itself is 100% Tequilana Weber agave from Los Valles, cooked in stone and brick ovens, roller-milled, fermented in stainless steel and double distilled in stainless pot stills, then aged a minimum of three years in oak — the legal floor of the extra anejo class, and the only ageing figure documented for this expression. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Decanter Is the Point — and the Tequila Holds Up
Casino Azul built its name on tequila as sculpture, and the Horse and Carriage is among its most theatrical pours: a horse-drawn carriage decanter produced in very limited quantity, carrying the house's extra anejo — the longest-aged class in tequila law. Under the theatre sits the same verified production sheet as the rest of the NOM 1466 range (the Ship decanter's sibling in Batch 462): highland-valley agave from Amatitan in Los Valles, brick-oven cooking, stainless fermentation and pot distillation, then three-plus years in oak before the spirit ever meets the carriage. Retailers position it exactly as Del Mesa's tags do — a gift and a shelf centrepiece — but the liquid is a genuine extra anejo, not a novelty fill. The rest of the sculptural range is on the Casino Azul vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
The syndicated profile for this decanter specifically: a smooth finish built on spice, honey and caramel; the fuller retailer note set adds hazelnut, vanilla, cloves and cinnamon with a hint of agave syrup over the oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a proper glass — decant a measure from the carriage and let the oak and agave syrup notes open. Then put the decanter back on the shelf where it belongs: on display. More extra anejos are in our tequila collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Casino Azul Horse and Carriage aged?
It is an extra anejo, the class that requires a minimum of three years in oak. No producer-documented duration beyond that minimum exists for this decanter, so Del Mesa does not print a longer figure — longer claims on other retailers' pages belong to the standard-bottle listing.
What size is the Horse and Carriage decanter?
The US decanter format is 1L — larger than Casino Azul's standard 750mL Extra Anejo bottle, which is a different product in a conventional bottle.
Where is Casino Azul made?
At NOM 1466, Tequila Tres Mujeres in Amatitan, Jalisco (Los Valles), from 100% Tequilana Weber agave — stone/brick-oven cooked, double distilled in stainless pot stills.
