Mandala Día de los Muertos 2022 & 2026 Limited Edition Tequila Bundle brings together two distinctive collectible expressions celebrating Mexican heritage, Día de los Muertos traditions, and premium tequila craftsmanship. This exclusive two-bottle tequila collection features the 2026 Guardians of Time Extra Añejo, presented in an ivory ceramic bottle adorned with intricate purple calavera artwork, alongside the 2022 Día de los Muertos Añejo, showcasing a striking dark-blue ceramic bottle decorated with skeletal hands, colorful flowers, and traditional Mexican-inspired designs. Crafted from 100% Blue Weber Agave in Jalisco, Mexico, both limited-edition releases combine exceptional ceramic artistry with the rich heritage of Mexican tequila production.
The Guardians of Time Extra Añejo is aged for three years in French oak sherry casks, developing luxurious notes of cooked agave, dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and warm spice. Complementing this expression, the 2022 Día de los Muertos Añejo is aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, delivering a smooth, rich profile featuring roasted agave, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and delicate fruit sweetness. With two full-size 1-liter bottles, each bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), this premium Mandala tequila collector's bundle offers a unique opportunity to experience two distinct releases from the brand's celebrated Día de los Muertos collection.
