PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
If the Skeleton Hands bottle is Mandala at its most dramatic, the Skulls bottle is its most festive. It’s a vibrant orange ceramic vessel covered in white skull reliefs that encircle the black floral Mandala logo, a design that draws on the sugar skulls, marigolds, and bright color of Día de Muertos, the Mexican holiday that honors loved ones who have passed. Mandala is known for presenting its tequilas in hand-decorated bottles, and this one is meant to be displayed long after the tequila is gone.
The liquid is a classic añejo. Mandala is made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco (NOM 1652, Tequilas de Autor), using fully mature agaves slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens and double distilled. It then rests in oak for more than a year, the legal minimum for an añejo, with several listings citing 18 to 24 months and some noting French oak or sherry casks. The time in barrel brings caramel, vanilla, and warm spice, while “keeping the cooked agave character intact.” It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Descriptions of the tequila are consistent: a nose of “roasted agave, caramel, vanilla, and warm toasted oak with a hint of dried fruit”; a palate that is “smooth and full-bodied, with honey, butterscotch, soft cinnamon, and gentle oak”; and a finish that is “long and velvety, closing on sweet agave warmth and lingering spice.” It’s a soft, sweet-leaning añejo for sipping neat in a snifter, on the rocks, or in an Añejo Old Fashioned. No independent critic scores were found.
This bottle is made for ofrendas, Día de Muertos tables, parties, and gifts, a tequila that’s part of the celebration. The 1-liter size gives you enough for a gathering, and the ceramic bottle makes it a keepsake for tequila collectors.
