Mandala Extra Anejo Classic Tequila 1L Ceramic

Mandala Extra Añejo Classic is seven years in French oak — Del Mesa calls it elegant with a great body — in the house's hand-painted one-liter ceramic. Arturo Lomelí Ibarra founded Mandala in 2016 with Humberto Ibarra and José Joel García Barreto in the Los Altos highlands, with a mission to make a tequila worth savoring and a bottle worth keeping; the house is a multiple international award winner, its Extra Añejo has drawn the widest acclaim, and Flaviar says to start here if you love sipping tequila. The Classic is 100% mature highland blue Weber agave, cooked in traditional brick ovens, double-distilled, aged seven years in French oak barrels, and bottled at 40% ABV in the painted one-liter ceramic — the same liquid as the beaded Huichol edition, in the painted rather than beaded bottle. Wooden Cork: cooked agave, toasted oak, vanilla, and dried fruit. Seven years of French oak give a Cognac-like depth: expect a deep amber pour with a nose of dried fig, caramel, vanilla, and cedar, opening into a dense, silky, sweet palate of butterscotch, dark chocolate, baking spice, and French-oak tannin with a very long finish. Honest note: a seven-year extra añejo for the Cognac drinker and the collector, in the painted ceramic at a lower price than the beaded one. Neat, in a snifter, slowly. Mandala, seven years.
