Sangre de Vida Anejo Tequila
Sangre de Vida Anejo Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) añejo made from 100% Blue Weber agave, aged in oak a minimum of 12 months per the añejo classification. It comes in the brand's signature hand-painted bottle — "Sangre de Vida" means "Blood of Life" — decorated with motifs drawn from Mexican history and culture. Agave from a 3,000-acre estate field in the Los Valles region of Jalisco, cooked 38 hours in brick ovens and double-distilled, bottled in a 750mL vessel that's as much art object as tequila.

The Hand-Painted Bottle
Before the first sip, there's the bottle: each one hand-painted with imagery rooted in Mexican history and culture, a genuine shelf piece long after the tequila is gone (some listings call this bottle design "Corazon Anejo"). Inside is a traditional añejo — estate agave cooked slowly in brick ovens, roller-milled, and twice distilled in a stainless pot with a copper coil, then rested in oak until the añejo minimum. Notes run to agave and oak, caramelized honey, sweet potato, vanilla, and stewed flowers with a layered, rich finish. It's a natural pick for añejo tequila lovers — and a striking gift for the Sangre de Vida collector.
Tasting Notes
Agave, oak, and caramelized honey lead, with sweet potato, vanilla, stewed flowers, and oxidized pear beneath; the finish is layered and rich with a mahogany depth (Old Town Tequila).
How to Enjoy
Serve neat at room temperature — this is a sipping añejo, and the oak deserves a proper copita or Glencairn. Save it for occasions; keep the bottle after.
