Skorpios 1618 Añejo is an additive-free añejo tequila presented in a striking all-gold bottle sculpted as a coiled snake. Matured for about 18 to 24 months in medium-charred American bourbon barrels, it is bottled at 40% ABV.
Skorpios 1618 makes its tequila from single-estate agave grown in Amatitán, in the heart of Jalisco's Tequila Valley, and its decanters are among the most eye-catching in the category. The gold serpent rises in coils from its base, its head raised, so the bottle is a sculpture on any shelf.
Up to two years in bourbon barrels gives the añejo a rich amber depth. On the nose come cooked agave, toasted oak, ripe fruit, roasted nuts and gentle barrel sweetness. The palate adds caramel and subtle spice, and the finish is long and polished, with lingering agave, sweet oak, roasted nuts and warming barrel notes.
The añejo is the golden sibling of Skorpios' red-snake extra añejo, and together they make a striking pair. It is a memorable gift for a tequila lover, especially anyone born in the Year of the Snake.
Whether opened for a celebration or kept for display, it is a conversation piece as much as a fine sipping tequila.
