Chaquira Beaded Jaguar Añejo Tequila
Chaquira is the Spanish word for the tiny glass seed beads that Huichol (Wixárika) artisans of Jalisco and Nayarit press one at a time into beeswax to cover gourds, masks and animal figures with dense, brilliantly colored patterns, each of which carries meaning in Huichol cosmology. This bottle is a jaguar head covered entirely in that beadwork, applied by hand, so no two are alike, and each represents hours of an artisan's labor. The tequila inside, part of the Reserva del Jaguar line, is a 100% blue Weber agave añejo produced at NOM 1438, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (Casa Maestri) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, a distillery that has become the go-to producer for decorative and ceramic collector bottlings, and it is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml fill. Because the beads are set in wax and adhesive rather than fired on, the piece should be handled with some care, and a stray loose bead is normal on a hand-finished object like this. Drink the añejo neat, then keep the jaguar on the shelf, which is where most of these end up: a piece of Mexican folk art that happens to be filled with tequila.
