PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Mandala is a tequila brand built on presentation: every expression is poured from a hand-decorated bottle, and the Añejo in the Skeleton Hands design is among the most eye-catching, with a bold skull-and-skeleton-hand motif that draws on Mexico’s Day of the Dead imagery. It’s the kind of bottle that gets noticed on a bar cart, on a shelf, or at a table, and it’s sold in a generous 1-liter size.
The tequila inside is a proper añejo. It’s made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco (NOM 1652, Tequilas de Autor), using fully mature agave that’s slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens, then double distilled. It rests in oak barrels for more than a year, which is the legal minimum for an añejo, and several listings describe 18 to 24 months of aging, with some noting French oak or sherry casks. The oak time builds “layers of caramel, vanilla, and warm spice while keeping the cooked agave character intact.” It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
The tasting notes describe 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.” Other descriptions add “toffee and dried fruit.” It’s a sweet, soft, easy-drinking añejo, made for sipping neat in a snifter or on the rocks, or building into an Añejo Old Fashioned, where the caramel and spice take center stage. No independent critic scores were found for this expression.
It’s a natural gift for tequila fans, collectors of unusual bottles, and anyone planning a Día de Muertos celebration, a party, or a tequila-themed gathering. At 1 liter, it’s also a good value for entertaining.
