The Dos Artes Calavera Anejo Limited Edition stands out not just for its taste but also for its presentation. The bottle is beautifully crafted, showcasing a unique and intricate calavera (skull) design. This design is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, often associated with the Day of the Dead celebrations, making it a sought-after collector's item for many tequila enthusiasts.

In terms of flavor, while specific tasting notes for the edition remain elusive, Dos Artes tequilas have a reputation for their smooth and rich profiles. Expect to find hints of agave, oak, and other subtle nuances that are a testament to the meticulous aging process.

Speaking of production, Dos Artes takes pride in their traditional crafting methods. The agave plants, matured for several years, are carefully harvested, cooked, and distilled to produce a tequila that resonates with authenticity. The Anejo variant, in particular, undergoes a longer aging process in oak barrels. This not only imparts a deeper color but also enriches the flavor, distinguishing it from younger tequilas.

Given its limited edition nature, availability might be restricted, and it could command a premium price, especially considering its unique presentation and potential collector's value. Over the years, Dos Artes has been recognized with numerous awards for their tequilas, a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and excellence.

Widow Jane is an award-winning artisanal distillery located in the New York City neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn. The company is named in homage to one of the legendary mines of Rosendale in Upstate New York, from which the brand sources its proofing water. 

Before becoming a natural reserve of extraordinary mineral water, the mines produced the natural cement used to construct some of the most iconic American landmarks, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building, among others. The pure, limestone-filtered water from the mine, plus one of the country’s largest holdings of long-aged Bourbons, and a refusal to compromise the product with chill-filtration, are just three elements that make Widow Jane a stand-out whiskey company.
