It’s a daring and elegant expression crafted for true spirits explorers. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.

FAQ
1. Does this tequila taste like Scotch?
It retains its agave soul but carries strong influence from Laphroaig’s smoky, medicinal notes, resulting in a tequila with peaty, maritime undertones.
2. How rare is this release?
Extremely rare — part of the Mundial Collection’s one-time cask experiments. Once it’s gone, it will not return.
3. Should I sip or mix it?
This is strictly a sipping tequila. Mixing would overpower the nuanced, smoky layers developed from the Laphroaig barrels.
