Dos Artes Calavera Limited Edition Extra Anejo 2020
40% ABV (80 proof) | 1L | Extra Añejo (aged 3+ years) | 100% Blue Weber agave — Dos Artes Calavera Limited Edition Extra Añejo 2020 is the brand's annual Día de los Muertos collector's release: 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave, slow-distilled at the Tres Mujeres distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, and aged over three years in oak before bottling in a hand-painted ceramic calavera decanter — every bottle individually painted, no two alike. The 2020 edition carries the extra añejo expression (later Calavera editions switched to añejo). Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Triple oak maturation gives the 2020 Calavera real depth: dark caramel, baked agave, and dried fig on the nose; a palate of toasted hazelnut, vanilla bean, baking spice, and milk chocolate; and a long, elegant finish of oak, honey, and warm pepper. Among añejo tequilas, this is the bottle that doubles as art — a Day of the Dead centerpiece that drinks as good as it looks. Dos Artes honors two Mexican artisans with every release: the tequilero and the ceramic painter. Neat in a copita.
