Dos Artes 2020 Calavera Limited Edition is one of the most visually breathtaking collector tequilas in existence, a hand-painted ceramic bottle featuring a detailed Día de los Muertos Calavera face rendered in traditional Talavera pottery style with vivid orange, brown, and white tones. Each bottle is hand-painted by Mexican artisans, making every single one a genuinely unique work of art that can never be exactly replicated. The ceramic bottle itself is a piece of living Mexican cultural heritage, drawing on centuries of Talavera ceramics tradition from Puebla and the surrounding region. Inside is a premium extra añejo tequila produced from 100% Blue Weber Agave harvested from the Highlands of Jalisco, aged in French and American oak barrels to deliver the depth, sweetness, and complexity that defines the finest aged tequila. At 1 liter, this is the full oversized format of one of the most beloved collector tequila releases in the annual Dos Artes calendar. The 2020 Calavera is now a back vintage that has been out of active retail circulation for years, and surviving bottles are increasingly difficult to find.

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep warm amber with golden honey tones from extended French and American oak aging
Nose: Rich and complex, with cooked agave, caramelized vanilla, dried apricot, toasted oak, brown sugar, and a warm floral sweetness from the Highland agave character. The oak aging adds depth without masking the agave identity.
Palate: Luxuriously smooth, with caramelized agave, toffee, dried fruit, cinnamon, toasted almonds, and a subtle spice from the American oak that builds gently across the palate. The extra añejo aging rounds every edge into a refined and deeply satisfying drinking experience.
Finish: Long, warm, and graceful, with vanilla, dried flowers, gentle spice, and a final wave of sweet agave that fades slowly and memorably.
FAQ
What makes the Dos Artes Calavera bottle special?
Every Dos Artes Calavera bottle is hand-painted by skilled Mexican artisans using traditional Talavera pottery techniques, drawing on a ceramics tradition with roots going back to 16th century Mexico. No two bottles are identical. The 2020 Calavera design features a detailed Day of the Dead face in orange, brown, and white, making each bottle a genuine one-of-a-kind art object as much as a premium tequila.
Is the 2020 Calavera still available?
The 2020 Calavera is a back vintage limited edition no longer in active production. Dos Artes releases a new Calavera design each year, and surviving bottles from earlier years become increasingly scarce as collectors acquire and hold them. This 1-liter format is the larger and rarer of the two sizes released.
How does extra añejo differ from standard añejo tequila?
Añejo tequila is aged for a minimum of one year in oak barrels. Extra añejo requires a minimum of three years, producing a spirit with significantly more oak influence, deeper color, and greater complexity. The Dos Artes extra añejo delivers a richness and smoothness that approaches aged brandy or whisky in its depth.
Can the ceramic bottle be used as a decanter or display piece?
Yes. The Dos Artes Calavera ceramic bottle is frequently kept as a display piece after the tequila is enjoyed, functioning as a standalone art object. Its hand-painted ceramic construction makes it durable and visually striking on any shelf.
