Description
Skorpios 1618 Extra Añejo comes from Hacienda de Oro in Amatitán, in Jalisco’s Los Valles region, where single-estate agaves are grown for seven to ten years before harvest, cooked in brick ovens, and distilled in copper pots after open-air fermentation. The ‘1618’ in the name marks the number of days this tequila rests in medium-to-heavy char French oak, with the final blend built to a consistent house profile rather than a single barrel. It arrives in a red-glazed ceramic bottle coiled in the shape of a serpent, a design distinct from the brand’s tasseled Year of the Snake edition.
Extended time in French oak gives this extra añejo a deep mahogany color and a nose built around oak, vanilla, dates, and orange peel. On the palate, caramel, cinnamon, and clove sit over layers of wood and cooked agave, closing on a long, smooth, and complex finish that shows the maturity of its extended barrel program.
Its ceramic coiled-snake presentation and extended-aging story make this a natural centerpiece for a tequila collection or a standout gift for an extra añejo enthusiast. Pair it on the shelf with other aged agave spirits and collectible ceramic-bottle releases available at . Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
