La Cofradia Ed. Catrina Anejo Tequila

With its beautifully hand-painted bottle and rich agave-heart character, La Cofradía Ed. Catrina Añejo Tequila is as much a piece of craftsmanship as it is a sipping spirit. The Añ­ejo maturity lends depth, smoothly balancing sweet cooked-agave notes with warm oak and spice—making it a standout among collector editions and a memorable pour for any special occasion.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Produced by La Cofradía in Jalisco, Mexico, this special-edition “Catrina” bottling pays tribute to the iconic Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos. The Tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave and is double distilled in small batches. For the Añejo version, it is matured in American oak barrels for over 14 months (some sources say at least 12 months or even up to two years) until it achieves a warm amber hue and fully integrated oak-agave profile. The bottle itself is a ceramic/fired stoneware piece, hand-painted by Mexican artisans to depict La Catrina — an elegant skeleton figure adorned with autumn flowers — making it a piece of art as much as a spirit.

Critics & Recognition

• One tasting remarked: “Rich and full-bodied, La Cofradía Catrina Añejo delivers cooked agave, toffee and vanilla on the nose, with dark chocolate and toasted oak on the palate; finish is warming and surprisingly long for the proof.”

• Specialty-tequila reviewers note that although it may not lean ultra-premium age statements, the design, production pedigree and bottle alone give it strong value for gifting or display.

• The brand emphasises its ceramic bottle and cultural storytelling as key differentiators: it is “crafted to delight even the most discerning palate while sharing the essence of an emblematic custom.”

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Warm amber in colour; aromas of sweet cooked-agave, vanilla custard, toasted oak and a hint of almond or marzipan.

• Palate: Smooth and medium-to-full-bodied; flavours of rich caramel, toffee, dark chocolate, roasted agave and soft spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) with underlying oak and subtle dried fruit.

• Finish: Long and balanced; oak tannin gently frames the sweetness, with lingering vanilla, warm spice and a final echo of roasted agave and light cocoa bitterness.
