Skelly Tequila Añejo, complete with a charming mariachi hat, is a beautiful representation of Mexican culture and tradition. This unique expression from the Skelly Collection merges the vibrant spirit of tequila with the rich symbolism of calaveras (skulls), which play an essential role in the Día de Los Muertos celebrations. These iconic decorations not only honor the memory of ancestors but have also become emblematic of Mexican pop culture.

Crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave, Skelly Tequila Añejo is made using traditional methods that respect the heritage of tequila production. The agave plants are harvested when they are fully mature, aged between 7 to 10 years, from a balanced blend of both the Highlands and Lowlands of Jalisco. The agave is then slow-roasted in brick ovens, ensuring a depth of flavor that is both authentic and rich. Following this, the tequila undergoes slow fermentation, avoiding any shortcuts like diffusion, and is extracted using a roller press.

Double distilled for purity and complexity, this Añejo is aged for 18 months in bourbon barrels, allowing it to develop a smooth character with notes of caramel, vanilla, and gentle spice. Best of all, it is completely additive-free, preserving the true essence of the agave. Whether enjoyed neat or in a special cocktail, Skelly Tequila Añejo is an exceptional choice that embodies the spirit of Mexico with every sip.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma
Its roasted-pineapple opening aroma; more time in the glass allows a peppery almost viscus, floral perfume to develop. Nice aromas of toasted oak and vanilla bean also emerge.

Palate
Palate entry shows roasted peppers, orange blossom, and tropical fruit. Then the mid-palate showcases luscious flavors of chocolate, orange, and sugar cookies.

Finish
Aftertaste is naturally sweet, sugary and long. A ton of chocolate, caramel, and dulce de leche flavors are very notable. This is the choice of the most sophisticated consumers searching for the full-body obtained from the more dominant wooden essence.
