Dos Artes Reserva Anejo Extra

"This is about as artisinal as tequila gets. From the Tequila Trés Mujéres distillery in Amatitán, the Dos Artes line is a small-batch, expertly crafted run of tequilas packaged in some of the most beautiful, hand-painted ceramic bottles. Each bottle alone takes several hours to produce. The Reserva Especial Extra Añejo is the top-tier offering, and while very little information is available as to the production process (the company does not have a working official website), the results in the copita are stunning. From the nose on through the palate, pure agave is the theme. Expertly integrated oak treatment is evident throughout, with a decidedly honeyed note to it. There is not a thing out of place with this tequila. No burn on the nose, and only the most proper warming sensation on the very long, slightly sweet finish. All said, this is unquestionably one of the smartest buys in the market for luxury tequila."
