Tequila Enemigo could bring a little Mexican sunshine to their festive celebrations, with three distinctive bottles offering everything from cocktail versatility to luxurious sipping.
Founded in 2017, the brand produces its tequila in Tequila, Mexico, beneath the imposing Volcán de Tequila in Jalisco. Its spirits use 100% Blue Weber agave grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil, with American oak barrels contributing character to the aged expressions.
According to the company, Enemigo has collected 60 global awards. However, for Christmas shoppers, the most interesting question is which bottle will best suit the lucky recipient.
For the Cocktail Enthusiast: 55 Blanco
With prices starting at £55, Tequila Enemigo 55 Blanco is the most accessible introduction to the collection.
Its name reflects the 55 iterations developed before the founders settled on their chosen expression. Expect pronounced agave character followed by delicate floral notes.
Suitable for sipping or mixing, this could make a thoughtful present for someone who enjoys preparing cocktails at home. Pair it with attractive glasses or a cocktail recipe book for a gift with plenty of possibilities beyond Christmas Day.
For the Curious Connoisseur: 89 Añejo Cristalino
Starting at £105, Tequila Enemigo 89 Añejo Cristalino offers something a little different.
It spends 14 months ageing before undergoing a three-stage filtration process, producing a clear tequila with a delicate, floral character.
The brand recommends drinking it neat, without ice or garnish, to appreciate its individual flavours. For someone whose drinks cabinet already contains favourite whiskies and gins, this offers an intriguing opportunity to explore another style of carefully crafted spirit.
For a Truly Special Gift: 00 Extra Añejo
At £185 upwards, Tequila Enemigo 00 Extra Añejo sits firmly in the luxury gift category.
Matured for more than three years, it has an amber colour and a flavour profile described as combining oak, tobacco and demerara sugar notes, followed by an agave finish.
This is a bottle for leisurely appreciation: perhaps shared with adult family members or friends during a quiet festive evening. Enemigo suggests serving it neat in a champagne flute to concentrate its aromas.
All three expressions are available online and through selected independent fine drinks stockists.
Whether your recipient loves cocktails or prefers exploring spirits one measured sip at a time, there is a festive option here.
