Dos Armadillos Anejo Tequila
Dos Armadillos Anejo Tequila is a 750mL anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) — 100% Blue Weber agave from Amatitan, Jalisco, the agave matured at least eight years before harvest, then aged 18 months in oak before bottling in a handcrafted, green-tinted crystal bottle with an artisanal medallion and a braided rope at the neck. It is the oak-aged step of the core Dos Armadillos range, made at NOM 1558 in the Tequila Valley. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Valley Agave, Eighteen Months of Oak
Dos Armadillos takes its agave from Amatitan — one of the historic tequila towns of the valley floor, not the highlands — and lets it grow a full eight years or more before harvest, a slow start the brand builds its whole range on. For the Anejo, the distilled spirit then rests 18 months in oak, long enough to turn golden-amber and trade raw agave brightness for honey, vanilla and dried fruit, while the liquid stays recognisably tequila. The bottle is part of the proposition: handcrafted crystal with a green tint, a medallion at its centre and rope braided around the neck, made by Mexican artisans. The brand reports a Silver for this Anejo at the 2012 Spirits of Mexico competition, and a 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold for the Anejo has been reported in press roundups of that year's results. See the Plata and Reposado siblings on the Dos Armadillos vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's own notes: a golden-amber colour; a balanced aroma of oak and cooked agave with honey and vanilla prominent; a rich, silky body; and a palate of delicate spice and vanilla leading to a long finish of dried fruit and oak.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a stemmed glass, where 18 months of oak and valley agave can both speak — also a luxurious base for a tequila Old Fashioned. More aged tequilas are in our tequila collection and across our spirits collection.
