Bold, collectible, and deeply inspired by Mexican heritage, Xoloitzcuintle American Oak Extra Añejo Tequila is an ultra-premium aged tequila presented in a striking handcrafted dog-shaped bottle honoring the sacred Xoloitzcuintli dog of ancient Mesoamerican culture. Bottled at 47.458% ABV in a 700ml format, this extra añejo tequila delivers concentrated layers of cooked agave, dark caramel, oak spice, vanilla, cacao, and dried fruit with exceptional richness and complexity.

Process & Profile

Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested at peak maturity, this Extra Añejo is aged extensively in American oak barrels to develop deep structure, barrel complexity, and refined smoothness. The elevated bottling proof of 47.458% ABV preserves the tequila’s full-bodied texture while amplifying aromatic intensity and agave depth.

The American oak maturation contributes rich vanilla, caramel, toasted wood, and spice characteristics while allowing roasted agave notes to remain present beneath the barrel influence. The tequila is bottled in a highly detailed ceramic decanter modeled after the Xoloitzcuintli, the ancient hairless dog revered in Aztec mythology as a spiritual guide and protector.
