Spirit Animals: Dobel Unveils Wildly Elegant Extra Añejo Series Inspired by Nature

Tequila has always had deep ties to the land—sun-drenched agave fields, volcanic soil, and the generations of hands that shape it. But now, Maestro Dobel is going one step further into nature, launching a stunning series of extra añejo tequilas inspired by iconic animals. Think rare spirit meets wild elegance.

This limited-edition collection celebrates not just the refined taste of extra-aged tequila, but also the animal kingdom’s most graceful and powerful creatures. Each bottle features bespoke artwork and a unique tequila profile—crafted with the same precision and innovation that have made Dobel a leader in modern luxury tequila.

What’s the Concept?

Dobel’s animal-inspired series isn’t just about aesthetics. Each animal symbolizes a quality embodied by the tequila it adorns—strength, wisdom, agility, courage. These aren’t just extra añejos; they’re portraits in glass.

The bottles themselves are works of art, etched with elaborate designs of creatures like jaguars, eagles, and wolves, representing Mexico’s rich cultural symbolism and natural heritage. But the spirit inside? It’s just as fierce.

Aged well beyond the standard threshold for extra añejo, these tequilas develop deep oak character, smooth vanilla notes, and a complexity that rivals fine Cognac or single malt Scotch—without ever losing their agave soul.

Tasting Themes Across the Line

While each expression is unique, the collection shares some common traits:

  • Color: Deep amber with golden highlights

  • Nose: Roasted agave, dark chocolate, dried fruit, toasted almond, and a touch of smoke

  • Palate: Silky and rich—layers of caramel, honey, oak spice, and citrus peel

  • Finish: Long, warming, and regal—perfect for sipping slowly and reverently

How to Enjoy

Each of these tequilas deserves your full attention. Skip the salt, skip the lime. Pour it neat in a Glencairn glass, let it open up, and appreciate the story told in each sip. Whether you're drawn to the strength of the jaguar or the clarity of the eagle, you're sipping more than tequila—you're experiencing Dobel’s vision of nature in spirit form.
