Casa Dragones Pedro Reyes Epicuro Special Art Edition Joven Tequila
Casa Dragones Pedro Reyes Epicuro Special Art Edition Joven Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) joven tequila — a small-batch master blend of 100% blue-agave silver tequila with tequila extra-aged 5 years in new American oak barrels, then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity. This is the 2018 Artist Edition: artist Pedro Reyes translated his 2016 volcanic-rock sculpture "Epicuro" into a single hand-engraved pepita composition across the crystal decanter. Hand-signed, numbered and dated, in a 750mL presentation. Buy rare tequila online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

A Sculpture in a Decanter
Pedro Reyes' 1.8-metre volcanic-rock "Epicuro" — inspired by the philosopher Epicurus — is reduced here to a hand-engraved composition in the decanter's pepita, neck and base left bare. The liquid matches the art: charcoal filtration strips the extra-aged component's colour but keeps its depth, so the tequila pours platinum-clear with subtle floral and citrus, sweet roasted agave, vanilla and spiced undertones, delicate pear, and a clean, warm hazelnut finish. Bottle count is reported as 500 by the brand and 400 by retailers — either way, an extremely limited artist edition. Explore more Casa Dragones tequilas and the añejo tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Colour: crystal clear, brilliant platinum hues. Nose: fresh and inviting — subtle floral and citrus with sweet roasted agave. Palate: soft and smooth — vanilla, spiced undertones, delicate pear. Finish: clean, warm, hazelnut. (Official Casa Dragones notes.)
How to Enjoy
Sip chilled, neat, in a white-wine glass to catch the floral aromatics. The clarity makes it a stunning gift bottle — keep the presentation intact.
