Process & Aging

Dos Artes Doble Barrica Extra Añejo Calavera 2026 is produced in Arandas, Jalisco, in the Highlands of Mexico under the direction of Master Distiller León Bañuelos.

Made from 100% Blue Agave, the agave is cooked using an autoclave before extraction with a roller mill. Fermentation is described by Dos Artes as natural and hybrid, followed by double distillation in an alambique, or pot still.

The defining stage is its extended barrel maturation. The tequila spends a minimum of 36 months in brand-new French and American oak barrels that are curated and owned exclusively by Dos Artes.

This dual-barrel approach gives the Extra Añejo substantial wood influence and complexity while complementing the underlying cooked-agave character. The finished tequila is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

Appearance

Bright golden hues with light amber tones, reflecting its minimum three years of maturation in new French and American oak.

The tequila is presented in an elaborate 2026 Calavera ceramic bottle, featuring a three-dimensional skull design with intricate black detailing.
