Description
1800 Colección Friedeberg Limited Edition Extra Añejo Tequila – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 700ml
An extraordinary union of fine tequila and contemporary Mexican art, 1800 Colección Friedeberg Limited Edition Extra Añejo Tequila is an exceptionally rare release created in collaboration with renowned artist Pedro Friedeberg. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 700ml bottle, this Extra Añejo tequila is presented as MONO LABERINTO DOBLE, a numbered work of art limited to only 50 pieces worldwide.
Process & Aging
1800 Colección Friedeberg begins with hand-selected agaves harvested at peak maturity. The agaves are slowly cooked in traditional masonry ovens before undergoing a slow fermentation and traditional distillation in copper stills.
Following distillation, the Extra Añejo tequila is rested in American oak barrels alongside Amarone wine casks made from French oak. This combination of casks creates additional depth and complexity while developing distinctive copper and silvery hues that reflect decades of experience and refinement.
The result is a mature, carefully composed Extra Añejo that brings together traditional tequila craftsmanship with an unconventional maturation program.
Appearance
Rich and elegant with distinctive copper and silvery hues, reflecting its maturation in American oak and French oak Amarone wine casks.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An intense range of balsamic notes and dried plum balanced by sweet aromas of dates, honey, and nutmeg.
Palate: Structured and refined, marked by the character of cooked agave and wood, with mature fruit and sweet spice adding further complexity.
Finish: Persistent and elegant, with subtle notes of honey and plum reemerging on the finish.
What Makes It Special
1800 Colección Friedeberg represents the meeting of two forms of Mexican artistry: master tequila making and the surrealist vision of Pedro Friedeberg.
Named MONO LABERINTO DOBLE, this release is limited to just 50 pieces worldwide. Each piece is individually numbered and accompanied by a sculptural nickel decanter designed exclusively by Pedro Friedeberg.
Friedeberg's distinctive artistic universe—where symbolic, geometric, and fantastical forms intertwine—is reflected throughout the presentation. The result transforms the tequila from a rare spirit into a multisensory collectible intended for both contemplation and enjoyment.
Its combination of extremely limited production, Extra Añejo tequila, specialized cask maturation, and an exclusive Pedro Friedeberg decanter makes it one of the most collectible expressions within the 1800 Tequila portfolio.
How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat in a fine tequila or spirits tasting glass at room temperature. Allow the tequila time to rest in the glass so its balsamic, dried fruit, honey, nutmeg, cooked agave, and mature wood characteristics can fully develop.
Given its exceptional rarity and artistic presentation, this expression is equally suited as a centerpiece for a serious tequila or contemporary art collection.
