Calle 23 Criollo El Dos Reposado is an extraordinary new release from acclaimed Master Distiller Sophie Decobecq, crafted from the rare Criollo variation of Blue Weber agave and created in honor of her second son, Eliès. The project began on the day he was born, when Criollo tequila was placed into well-seasoned ex-whiskey barrels, with portions drawn at different stages over the following eight years. The final blend brings together tequila showing Reposado, Añejo and Extra Añejo levels of maturation, while officially carrying a Reposado designation. Criollo agave produces unusually small piñas with low yields but remarkable concentration and sweetness, and was the foundation of Calle 23's now-cult Criollo Blanco. El Dos is limited to just 3,932 bottles worldwide, making it one of the most distinctive and limited releases ever produced by Calle 23.
