This super premium, 100% agave, extra añejo tequila is aged in new French oak casks and blended with reserve tequilas, some of which are as old as 50 years. The bottle comes in a leather and burlap handmade box that also contains an empty pewter and Belgian-crystal decanter.

Weighing in at four pounds by itself, the decanter was designed by acclaimed Mexican artist Alejandro Colunga.
