Description
Skorpios 1618 Tequila Joven is produced at NOM 1522, Hacienda de Oro in Amatitán, in the heart of Jalisco’s Los Valles region. The joven expression blends unaged Blanco with a portion of Añejo aged 22 to 24 months in American oak, built from single-estate agaves harvested at 7 to 10 years of maturity. Production runs through brick ovens, a roller mill, open-air fermentation, and double distillation in copper pot stills, with no additives, and the bottle itself is a turquoise-glazed ceramic piece shaped like a coiled snake.
The color runs pale straw, with a nose of citrus, orange, and fresh-cooked agave carried by a whisper of oak. On the palate, Blanco brightness interweaves with the oak-driven character of the añejo component, moving through citrus, wood, orange, and earth with a savory olive note underneath. The finish is buttery, clean, earthy, and smooth.
The ceramic snake bottle makes this a standout on a bar cart or as a gift for a collector building out a display of designed tequila packaging, and it pairs well alongside ‘ other artisanal and single-estate tequila selections for anyone comparing joven and añejo styles side by side. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
