Kah Tequila Day of the Dead Anejo: A Celebration of Life in Every Sip

Unveiling a masterpiece in a hand-painted skull

The Kah Tequila Day of the Dead Anejo isn’t just a bottle of tequila; it’s a captivating experience. Inspired by the vibrant traditions of Da de los Muertos, this Aejo arrives in a stunning, hand-painted ceramic skull, each one unique and a collector’s item in itself. But the true beauty lies within a meticulously crafted Aejo tequila boasting a complex flavour profile and a smooth, unforgettable finish.

A Journey Through the Agave Fields

Crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, grown at the foot of the Tequila volcano in Jalisco, Mexico, Kah Aejo embodies the rich heritage of tequila production. The agave hearts are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, coaxing out their natural sweetness before double distillation in stainless steel stills. This meticulous process ensures purity and lays the foundation for the exceptional ageing process.

Aged to Perfection: Unveiling the Flavour

Kah Aejo spends a minimum of 12 months slumbering in American white oak casks. This ageing period allows the tequila to develop a rich amber colour and absorb the subtle, yet distinctive, character of the oak. The result? A symphony of flavours unlike any other.

A Tasting Experience to Remember

On the Nose: The first encounter with Kah Aejo is an aromatic revelation. Rich, earthy agave notes take centre stage, interwoven with hints of vanilla, caramel, and baking spice. A subtle smokiness lingers in the background, hinting at the tequila’s time spent in oak barrels.

On the Palate: The first sip is a delightful surprise. The initial sweetness of cooked agave gives way to a burst of peppery spice on the mid-palate. The oak influence then shines through, imparting notes of vanilla, toffee, and a touch of cocoa. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg add further complexity, creating a truly captivating taste sensation.

The Finish: The smooth, lingering finish is a testament to Kah Aejo’s quality. The agave and oak flavours dance in perfect harmony, leaving a warm and inviting sensation that lingers long after the last sip.
