Xoloitzcuintle French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila Dog Bottle – 54.73% ABV | 700ml

Powerful, luxurious, and exceptionally rare, Xoloitzcuintle French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila is a high-proof ultra-premium tequila presented in a striking handcrafted dog-shaped decanter inspired by the sacred Xoloitzcuintli of ancient Mexican culture. Bottled at an impressive 54.73% ABV in a 700ml format, this deeply aged extra añejo delivers concentrated layers of roasted agave, dark fruit, French oak spice, cacao, vanilla, and rich barrel complexity with extraordinary depth and intensity.

Process & Profile

Crafted from mature 100% Blue Weber agave, this Extra Añejo undergoes extensive aging in French oak barrels, allowing the tequila to develop remarkable structure, elegance, and layered spice complexity. French oak maturation often contributes more refined tannins and nuanced spice compared to American oak, creating a profile with enhanced notes of dried fruit, baking spice, cocoa, and toasted wood.

The elevated bottling strength of 54.73% ABV preserves the tequila’s natural oils, viscosity, and aromatic concentration while delivering a fuller-bodied sipping experience for enthusiasts who appreciate higher-proof aged spirits. The tequila is housed in a handcrafted ceramic Xoloitzcuintli dog decanter, honoring the sacred hairless dog revered in Aztec mythology as a spiritual guardian and guide to the afterlife.

Appearance

Deep mahogany amber with dark copper reflections, showcasing extensive barrel aging and concentrated oak influence.

What Makes It Special

This release stands apart through its combination of exceptionally high proof, extended extra añejo maturation, French oak aging, and artistic collectible presentation. While many extra añejos are proofed down significantly before bottling, Xoloitzcuintle preserves a more concentrated and robust profile at 54.73% ABV, offering greater intensity and texture.

The handcrafted dog-shaped decanter also transforms the bottle into a collectible art piece inspired by one of Mexico’s most culturally significant animals. The Xoloitzcuintli has long symbolized protection, guidance, and spiritual connection within ancient Mesoamerican traditions.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a proper sipping glass to fully appreciate its evolving aromas and concentrated structure. Allow the tequila time to open in the glass before tasting.
