A Serpent Decanter at Full Strength

Serpente D'oro — the golden serpent — is Oceano Azul's statement anejo: the glass decanter is wrapped by a sculpted golden serpent, capped with a bronze serpent's head, and boxed for gifting. What is inside matches the drama. Most anejo tequila is bottled at 40% ABV; Serpente D'oro is bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), carrying the oak and cooked-agave character of its barrel aging at full intensity. The brand is produced at NOM 1649 in the Los Valles region of Jalisco. Browse the Oceano Azul collection, more tequila, and the anejo shelf at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

The distributor's notes open with oak and vanilla over subtle herbal undertones on the nose. The palate is complex and structured — cooked agave, toasted oak and caramel with delicate herbal nuances — and the finish is long, warm and refined, with the 100-proof bottling giving every flavour extra carry.

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat in a stemmed tequila glass and give it a minute to open; a single large cube will soften the proof while keeping the oak and caramel intact. It is also a centrepiece bottle — the serpent decanter earns its place on the back bar long after the last pour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Serpente D'oro 100 proof? Oceano Azul bottles this anejo at 50% ABV rather than the usual 40%, for a fuller, more concentrated flavour — expect a warmer, more intense sip than a standard anejo.

What is NOM 1649? The NOM is the official Norma Oficial Mexicana number identifying the certified distillery that produced a tequila. Serpente D'oro is produced at NOM 1649 in Los Valles, Jalisco, and is CRT certified.

What does anejo mean? Anejo ("aged") tequila must rest in oak barrels for at least one year by Mexican law, which gives it its amber colour and its vanilla, caramel and toasted-oak character.

Is the serpent bottle glass? Yes — a glass decanter wrapped by a sculpted serpent with a bronze serpent-head stopper, presented in a gift box.
