Don Ramon Swarovski 25th Anniversary Extra Anejo Tequila
Don Ramón 25 Aniversario is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL extra añejo tequila from Casa Don Ramón, released for the brand's 25th anniversary in a bottle set with 360 Swarovski crystals. The "25" marks the anniversary, not an age statement: the 100% blue agave spirit rests over 36 months in whiskey, American, and French oak barrels, emerging with a distinguished copper color and a sweet, strong aroma of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and wood. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

- Origin: Jalisco, Mexico (Jamay, Jalisco); 100% blue agave
- Profile: golden with coppery nuances; sweet nose of nuts, vanilla, and spice
Twenty-Five Years of the Brand, Three Years in the Barrel
Let's be precise, because the name invites confusion: this is Casa Don Ramón's 25th-anniversary bottle, not a 25-year-old tequila — one retailer even lists a bogus "25 years" age statement, which the official brand page contradicts. What it actually is: a 100% blue agave extra añejo rested 36+ months across three oak types, bottled in crystal-studded glass for collectors. Pierce Brosnan is the brand's global ambassador, and the presentation is pure showpiece. For extra añejo collectors, the value is the occasion and the object as much as the spirit.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand: golden color with coppery nuances; a sweet aroma with hints of nuts, vanilla, and spices; cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and wood on the palate; subtly sweet but strong in aroma.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Riedel-style tequila glass at room temperature — an anniversary bottle deserves the full aromatic read. This is a display-and-sip piece, not a mixer; compare it with other extra añejos to taste the triple-oak influence.
