Dos Artes Calavera Doble Barrica Limited Edition Anejo Tequila 2025
Dos Artes Calavera Doble Barrica Limited Edition Anejo Tequila 2025 is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 1L añejo tequila — distilled from 100% Blue Weber agave and rested 28 months in two barrels: first in American oak, then finished in French oak — presented in the year's hand-painted ceramic calavera (skull) decanter for the 2025 Día de los Muertos season — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Dos Artes has built its name on two crafts at once: traditional tequila-making and the artistry of hand-painted ceramic decanters — each bottle a one-of-a-kind work from Mexican artisans. The annual Calavera release is the brand's most anticipated: a Day of the Dead skull decanter honoring the holiday's celebration of remembrance, filled with an añejo worthy of the presentation. "Doble Barrica" is the 2025 liquid's story — 28 months of double-barrel aging that pulls sweet caramel and vanilla from American oak and layers in cinnamon, clove, and elegant spice from French oak, all around a core of cooked agave. Distilled in Jalisco with no additives, it is a collector's piece that drinks like a connoisseur's pour.
Tasting notes (trade consensus): nose of sweet cooked agave, deep caramel, and vanilla layered with cinnamon and clove; a velvety, full-bodied palate of rich toffee and butterscotch opening into dark chocolate, dried fruit, and peppery spice; an exceptionally long, smooth finish of sweet vanilla and dry oak spice.
Why buy: The Day of the Dead decanter is the centerpiece of any premium tequila shelf — hand-painted, numbered-season, and never repeated — wrapped around a 28-month double-barrel añejo. Equal parts ofrenda-worthy art and serious sipping tequila. Explore more Dos Artes and browse more tequila at Del Mesa Liquor.
