Process & Profile

Skorpios 1618 Tequila Extra Añejo is a limited-production Founder’s Batch made from single-estate agaves grown for at least seven to ten years in Amatitán, Jalisco. The mature agaves are cooked in brick ovens, roller crushed, fermented in the open air, and double distilled in copper pot stills.

The tequila matures for approximately 55 to 58 months across French oak and bourbon barrels before being blended according to age and barrel type. This extended maturation creates a smooth, complex profile built around oak, vanilla, dates, orange peel, caramel, cinnamon, and clove.

Skorpios 1618 Tequila Extra Añejo is presented in an entirely red, snake-shaped bottle with a raised open-mouthed serpent head, sculpted coils, detailed scales, and a contrasting green eye.

How to Enjoy

Skorpios 1618 Tequila Extra Añejo is best served neat at room temperature in a tequila glass or whiskey tasting glass. Allowing the tequila to rest briefly after pouring helps reveal its oak, vanilla, caramel, dates, orange peel, cinnamon, and clove characteristics.

A few drops of water or a single large ice cube can gradually soften the barrel influence while preserving the tequila’s depth. Its extended maturation, limited Founder’s Batch production, and sculptural red snake bottle make it especially suitable for milestone gifts, luxury tequila collections, and special-occasion sipping.
