The Tequila
Distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave, this limited Añejo harmonizes tequilas aged between 12 and 38 months in first-use American whiskey casks. Part of the agave is slow-cooked in a traditional pit oven, imparting deep roasted and smoky tones that recall the essence of Mexican hearth and home. The result is a warm, layered tequila that evokes caramelized agave, orange zest, clove, and oak-toasted spice—an act of love transformed into a liquid tribute.
Inspiration
The blend unites two agave-cooking traditions—masonry oven and pit oven—to create a sensory duality of fire and sweetness. For Tinoco, the spirit recalls her grandmother’s kitchen and the scent of tortillas cooked over wood flame. As she describes it, “Creating this tequila was a way to relive those moments with the heart and transform them into a liquid tribute.”

Decanter & Design
The ivory-colored decanter symbolizes remembrance through muted tones and elegant restraint. The base illustration, by artist Erika Rivera, depicts a family ofrenda adorned with cempasúchil flowers, pan de muerto, papel picado, sugar skulls, and candles—each an emblem of memory. The soft silhouettes of spirits watch over, present yet intangible, reflecting the emotional heart of Día de Muertos.
Golden Ornament
Each bottle bears a 24-karat gold-plated locket handcrafted by artisans from Milagros de Latón in Tesistán, Jalisco. Inside lies a polished obsidian cameo, a mirror to eternal remembrance. The face features intricate milagritos—tiny brass charms symbolizing love, protection, and healing—surrounded by sculpted motifs of candles and sugar skulls. Each ornament undergoes more than 50 steps and 12 hours of meticulous work, polished and patina-finished by hand.
