Skorpios 1618 Tequila Extra Añejo Year of the Snake 2025 Limited Edition

Skorpios 1618 Extra Añejo Year of the Snake 2025 Limited Edition is a micro-batch release from NOM 1522, Hacienda de Oro in Amatitán, Los Valles, crafted to mark the Lunar New Year. Single-estate agaves aged 7 to 10 years are cooked in brick ovens, crushed on a roller mill, and fermented in the open air before distillation through copper pots with no additives. Only 888 bottles were produced, each hand-poured and housed in a red ceramic snake bottle finished with a gold Chinese-knot charm and tassel.

The spirit rests a minimum of 3.5 years in medium-char American bourbon barrels before a finishing period in Cognac casks, a combination that deepens its color to a deep mahogany and layers dark plum, raisin, and subtle vanilla on the nose. On the palate, dried fruit, caramel, and oak give way to dark chocolate and a touch of spice, with a light fig character carried over from the Cognac cask. The finish is ultra-smooth, with lingering cognac warmth and a medium-long agave close.

With production capped at 888 bottles, this release is intended for collectors and Lunar New Year gifting as much as for drinking. Pair it with Liquor Geeks' other extra añejo and cristalino selections for a side-by-side tasting of cask-finished tequilas. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
