Product details
Skorpios 1618 Añejo Tequila is a masterful expression of Mexican craftsmanship, created using time-honored methods that highlight the purity and depth of 100% agave. Each bottle begins with deep-rooted agaves aged for a minimum of 7 to 10 years, ensuring a robust and complex foundation. The tequila is then carefully aged for 18 to 24 months in American bourbon barrels, which impart rich, smoky layers to the spirit. Produced on a single estate, Skorpios 1618 is crafted using traditional brick ovens, roller crushing, and open-air fermentation with natural deep well water and spring water. Unique to its process, classical music—specifically Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9—plays during barrel fermentation, adding an artistic touch to the aging process. Double distilled in copper pots and made without additives, this Añejo is a pure expression of time, tradition, and innovation.
The resulting tequila is an ultra-smooth, highly complex spirit. On the nose, you’ll find enticing aromas of caramel, vanilla, and orange peel, while the palate reveals layers of cooked agave, wood notes, and dried fruits like dates and prunes. The medium-charred bourbon barrels lend a delicate balance of sweet and nutty undertones, enhancing the overall profile. The finish is rich yet natural, showcasing the intricate flavors that develop during its maturation. Skorpios 1618 Añejo offers a beautifully nuanced sipping experience, perfect for those who appreciate both tradition and innovation in their tequila.
