Chula Parranda Extra Anejo Tequila Huichol
Chula Parranda Extra Anejo Tequila Huichol is five years of French oak in a work of art — a 750mL extra añejo aged a full 60 months in French oak barrels (much of it ex-cognac), produced at NOM 1258 in Jalisco under Master Distiller Sergio Partida. The Huichol edition dresses that same ultra-premium extra añejo in traditional beadwork by Huichol artisans of the Sierra Madre Occidental — every bottle unique, the bead patterns varying so no two are identical. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Beautiful Party, Sacred Art
"Chula Parranda" means "beautiful party" — and the brand was founded to make ultra-premium, fully artisanal tequila in collector vessels worthy of the liquid inside. The Huichol edition honors the Wixárika (Huichol) people, for whom beadwork is a form of writing and sacred art; artisans hand-decorate each bottle, so the one on your shelf is the only one like it. Underneath the art is a serious five-year French-oak extra añejo — the same liquid that took Extra Añejo of the Year at the 2018 NYISC.

Tasting Notes
Retailer consensus quoting brand/importer copy: dark amber/mahogany color; a nose of big dusty oak, vanilla custard, baked green apple dusted with cinnamon, salted caramel, and roasted agave; a palate of caramel, vanilla, toasted almond, cooked orchard fruit, crème brûlée, baking spice, and Mexican dark chocolate; a long, smooth finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat, or over one big cube — five years of French oak deserves nothing that hides it. This is a sipping tequila and a display piece in one.
