A Highland Anejo in the Spirit of Frida
Named for Mexico's most iconic artist, Frida Kahlo Tequila is made the slow way in the Jaliscan highlands: hand-selected mature blue agave piñas, a full 28-hour slow cook in antique adobe brick ovens that pulls out roasted sweetness and strips away bitterness, natural fermentation, and double distillation in antique copper pot stills. Twenty months in American oak turns that bright highland spirit into something deep, buttery, and sippable. Browse the Frida Kahlo collection and compare it with other tequilas at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Expect damp earth and roasted fruit on the nose, opening into honey, soft vanilla, and a faint peanut-butter richness; the palate is grassy and sweet at entry, building into an oily, buttery mid-palate of caramel, cinnamon, and cooked agave with light smoky undertones, finishing long with baking spice and toasted wood.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat in a snifter or a Glencairn — this is a cognac-style anejo built for savoring, not shooting. It also holds its own in a top-shelf anejo Old Fashioned where the oak and caramel can meet the bitters.
