Product Description

Skelly Añejo: Celebrate Life, One Bottle at a Time

*Bottle shape, label, and color may vary from image shown.

Skelly Añejo Tequila is an artfully packaged, flavorful tequila that embodies the true joy of Día de los Muertos. The bottle is inspired by the shape of Skelly himself, a hand-painted ceramic calavera crafted by Mexican artisans, topped with a festive hat that celebrates Mexican tradition. Simply pop off the head to serve straight from the bottle's "neck." Because each bottle is individually hand-painted, the hat style and coloring can vary from bottle to bottle, whether that's a straw hat, a Pancho Villa-style design, or another festive variation, making every bottle a genuine one-of-a-kind piece.

Beneath the playful presentation is a genuinely serious añejo, crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave and aged over two years in fine French oak barrels. That extended aging has earned real recognition: Skelly Añejo is the proud winner of a Double-Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of the most respected accolades in the industry. Founded by Pedro Quintanilla, a genuine tequila connoisseur whose grandfather grew Blue Agave on a family hacienda in Jalisco, Los Azulejos carries that family legacy into every bottle produced at Casa Maestri, one of the most productive distilleries in the region.

Whether you're building a Día de los Muertos display, looking for a genuinely unique gift, or simply want an award-winning añejo in one of the most distinctive bottles on the shelf, Skelly Añejo brings together Mexican artistry and serious tequila craftsmanship in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Briny opening aroma that develops into peppery, almost gum-like biscuit notes with time in the glass, alongside toasted oak and vanilla bean.

Palate: Sweet entry with roasted peppers, orange blossom, and tropical fruit, giving way to luscious chocolate, orange, and sugar cookie notes in the mid-palate.

Finish: Sweet, sugary, and long, showcasing the full-bodied character of extended French oak aging.

Food Pairings

Skelly Añejo's rich chocolate and orange profile pairs beautifully with festive, indulgent fare. Try it alongside mole-braised chicken, roasted pork, or a charcuterie board with dried orange and toasted nuts, or lean into its sweetness with flan, pan de muerto, or dark chocolate.
