Mandala Dia de los Muertos Life After Death Limited Edition Anejo Tequila Bundle 2025
Mandala Dia de los Muertos Life After Death Limited Edition Anejo Tequila Bundle 2025 is the complete 2025 Day of the Dead release: two 1L individually hand-painted ceramic bottles of 80-proof (40% ABV) añejo tequila — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Mandala's annual Día de los Muertos editions are among the most collectible tequila bottles made, and 2025's "Life After Death" set pairs two designs — El Jimador, honoring the noble agave harvester at the start of tequila's journey, and La Catrina, José Guadalupe Posada's iconic figure adorned with cempasúchil marigolds, honoring remembrance. The bottles interlock through skeletal hands to complete each other when displayed together. Both bottles hold the same Mandala añejo — only the artwork differs. It's 100% Blue Weber agave from the Highlands of Jalisco, slow-cooked in brick ovens, double-distilled in copper stills, non-chill filtered and additive-free; the official 2025 copy ages it over 14 months in French oak barrels.
Tasting notes: cooked agave, caramel, vanilla, light oak, and warm baking spices on the nose; honeyed oak, rich toffee, dried fruit, and soft cinnamon on the palate; a smooth, long, warming finish of lingering sweet spice and oak.
Why buy the bundle? Because the two-bottle set is the definitive 2025 Mandala — both hand-painted designs, one purchase — and it sells out every year. Browse the anejo tequila collection, the gift sets collection, and the Mandala brand collection.
Serving note: sip the añejo neat from a copita to taste the French oak; display the pair together — the designs complete each other.
