A Decanter That Tells the Harvest Story
The "El Jimador" in the name refers to the bottle itself: a hand-painted ceramic figure of a jimador — the coa-wielding agave harvester whose craft every tequila depends on. Inside is Chula Parranda's own 100% agave reposado, rested nearly a year in American oak, from distillery NOM 1258 (El Magnífico) in Mexico. Soft straw in the glass, with cooked agave, honey and vanilla from the oak — it is as much a gift for the bar cart as it is a pour. Explore the tequila collection at Del Mesa Liquor, compare reposado tequilas, or browse everything from Chula Parranda.
Tasting Notes
Soft straw to light amber. The nose shows cooked agave layered with warm oak, honey, vanilla and subtle dried fruit and caramel. The palate is smooth and honeyed — creamy agave with vanilla-oak interplay and mild baking spice — with a lingering, velvety finish of sweet agave and vanilla warmth.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat from a small snifter to appreciate the 11-month oak influence, or pour it in a reposado-forward cocktail like a Reposado Old Fashioned. Keep the decanter — it is one of the most distinctive bottles on any shelf.
