Dos Artes Extra Añejo Reserva Tequila

Nose

Rich caramel and dark chocolate open alongside dried apricot and toasted vanilla bean. Subtle cooked agave earthiness anchors the sweeter top notes. A gentle waft of cinnamon and clove adds spice depth.

Palate

Smooth entry with layers of butterscotch, ripe fig, and baking spice. The extended oak aging imparts a firm but balanced tannin structure, while roasted agave character and a hint of dark cherry push through the sweetness. A whisper of toasted almond rounds out the mid-palate complexity.

Finish

Long and warming, with lingering vanilla oak and a faint peppery agave bite that slowly fades. Dried fruit sweetness and a touch of espresso extend the finish well past the final sip.

1. Neat: Pour into a wide-mouthed snifter and allow a few minutes to open up — caramel, fig, and oak are best appreciated without dilution.
2. Single Rock: Add one large ice cube to a rocks glass and pour 2 parts Dos Artes Extra Añejo over it. Let the chill slowly draw out the agave sweetness and vanilla.
3. Añejo Old Fashioned: Combine 2 parts Dos Artes Extra Añejo with 1 barspoon agave nectar and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir over ice and strain into a rocks glass over a large cube. Express an orange peel over the top and garnish.
4. Tequila Manhattan: Stir 2 parts Dos Artes Extra Añejo with 1 part sweet vermouth and 2 dashes orange bitters over ice. Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
5. Spiced Agave Sour: Shake 2 parts Dos Artes Extra Añejo, 1 part fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 part cinnamon-agave syrup with ice. Strain over fresh ice and garnish with a dehydrated lemon wheel and a cinnamon stick.
