Dos Armadillos Añejo Tequila
Dos Armadillos · Destilería Las Juntas (NOM 1545)
Dos Armadillos Añejo is a quietly confident tequila—unhurried in its maturation and uncompromising in its craft. It rewards patience with layered complexity that never loses sight of the agave at its core. A bottle that embodies conviction poured slowly, ideal for contemplative sipping.
Nose
Deep cooked agave anchors the bouquet, joined by waves of butterscotch, dried fig, and toasted almond. A restrained herbal quality—thyme and dried chamomile—emerges beneath a veil of oak and vanilla. Light cinnamon spice and a whisper of dark chocolate round out an inviting, contemplative aroma.
Palate
The entry is silky and full-bodied, leading with caramelized agave and honeyed vanilla that coat the tongue. Mid-palate reveals dark chocolate bitterness balanced by warm cinnamon and roasted nuts, while a mineral earthiness provides grounding depth. The oak integration is seamless, never overwhelming the agave's natural sweetness.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering butterscotch and gentle pepper spice that slowly recede into a clean, earthy agave echo. A final note of toasted oak and dried fruit persists beautifully.

Food Pairing
The tequila's dark chocolate and cinnamon notes harmonize with the complex spice profile of Oaxacan mole negro, while the agave sweetness tempers the sauce's gentle bitterness. Tender braised duck provides richness that mirrors the añejo's full body, and a side of black beans with epazote echoes the earthy mineral undertones.
Born from a small-batch distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Dos Armadillos reflects a family's steadfast belief that great tequila cannot be rushed—only revealed through patient aging and unwavering attention to tradition.
