Chula Parranda Extra Añejo Artesanal is a long-aged extra añejo tequila, aged about five years in French oak barrels and presented in a decorative ceramic bottle. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
The bottle is a Talavera-style ceramic, painted in deep blue with vibrant orange-red floral patterns and white accents, so it is as much a piece of Mexican folk art as a bottle of tequila. Chula parranda means a lovely party in Mexican Spanish, a fitting name for a bottle made for celebrations.
Five years in French oak gives the tequila a dark colour and a rich, vanilla-toned palate. Caramel, vanilla and oak lead, with dark chocolate and spice in the background, for a smooth, dessert-like sipping tequila.
Displayed on a bar shelf, the hand-painted decanter catches the eye long after the tequila is gone, making it a memorable gift for birthdays, holidays and any celebration.
For collectors of decorative tequila bottles, it is a colourful and characterful addition. Five years in oak is well beyond the three-year minimum for the extra añejo category, so the tequila inside is as serious as the bottle is festive, rewarding slow sipping from a snifter on a long evening with friends. Serve it at room temperature to let the vanilla and caramel come forward.
