La Maria Puebla Anejo Tequila 1L
La Maria Puebla Anejo Tequila 1L is a 40% ABV (80 proof) añejo, aged at least one year in oak barrels, presented in a hand-painted ceramic decanter dressed in the traditional attire of Puebla — part of La Maria's "Handcrafted Artisans" series of state-dress decanters (Jalisco, Oaxaca, Puebla). Distilled under NOM 1589 at Casa Mexico in Jalisco, it's as much a collector's art piece as a spirit. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Puebla on the Outside, Jalisco on the Inside
Here's the charming wrinkle: the Puebla in the name is the bottle, not the distillery. NOM 1589 is registered to Casa Mexico in Jalisco's Central region — the liquid is distilled in Jalisco — while the decanter wears the embroidered dress of Puebla, painted by hand by Mexican artisans. Retailers describe the agave as sourced from Puebla state, but with no brand-official site, the Jalisco distillery is the verified fact. La Maria's artisan series leans into a grand Mexican tradition — the collectible ceramic decanter, sibling to the Jalisco and Oaxaca editions — and the 1-liter format makes it a genuine shelf centerpiece.

Tasting Notes
Retailer-reported notes describe a full-bodied aroma of cooked agave, oak, vanilla, and caramel; a medium-bodied palate with hints of spice, wood, and nuts; a rich golden-brown color; and a smooth, sweet finish. Reviewers call it a very nice, smooth añejo — the extra year in oak rounding the agave into dessert-spice territory.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat from a proper tequila glass — this is a sipping añejo, not a mixer — and keep the decanter long after the last pour; it's designed to live on the bar cart. It also makes a striking gift for the tequila collector who has everything except a hand-painted Puebla dress.
