The hand-painted ceramic bottle gets Mandala Extra Aejo noticed on a shelf; the tequila inside is what gets it finished. A minimum of three years in French oak and cognac casks turns this 100% Blue Weber agave spirit dark amber, layering toasted oak, dried fruit, caramel, and vanilla over the agave base. The cognac wood shows up in the fruit; the French oak keeps the sweetness from going soft. At 80 proof the spirit stays composed rather than hot, which suits its pace this is an after-dinner pour, sold by the full liter. Serve the extra aejo in a snifter for slow sipping, or build it into an Old Fashioned for a guest worth impressing.
