Three Years in Oak, a Work of Art on the Shelf
Dos Armadillos is an ultra-premium line whose bottles are handcrafted art pieces by Mexican artisans, and the Clay Edition may be its most striking: a crystal decanter wrapped in natural clay with an obsidian center and bronzed metal labels, finished with a henequen agave-styled neck. The design honors the brand's founding legend — the armadillo, protector figure of Mexico's ancient cultures, whose armor gave the god Teotl the clay to mold mankind. The tequila itself is a patient 36-month extra anejo, triple the resting time of a standard anejo.
Tasting Notes
The brand publishes no official tasting notes, so expect the deep, polished character of a long-rested extra anejo: wood and cooked agave in rounded balance, a long oak-driven finish, and the mellow integration that three years in French and American oak deliver. This is a slow-pour sipper for tequila drinkers who prize presentation and patience in equal measure.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat in a copita or a wide-bottomed glass to let the oak notes open. This is the bottle you keep after the pour is gone — the decanter is a genuine display piece, so reserve the Clay Edition for special occasions and cigar-friendly evenings.
