A Skull Worth Keeping
Every year, Dos Artes commissions artisans to hand-paint its Day of the Dead decanters, and every year the calavera sells out — the 2022 edition ran to just 5,300 bottles. The skull is a tribute to Mexico's most beloved holiday, but the tequila inside is no souvenir: estate-grown agave, patient oak aging, and the rich, elegant profile that made Dos Artes a collector's brand in the first place.
Tasting Notes
Layered cooked and raw agave on the nose with warm vanilla, caramel, and gentle oak spice. The palate is rich, elegant, and full-bodied — agave sweetness balanced against oak spice, sticky caramel, and a dash of vegetative herbs. The finish is very smooth and long.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat from a snifter to give both the tequila and the decanter their due — this is a centerpiece bottle. For the tequila collector, it belongs with the great limited reposados; for Día de los Muertos, it is the toast itself.
