In Mexico, Día de los Muertos is a unique holiday celebrating life, death, and eternal friendship. For several days, Mexico transforms into an explosion of colors and skulls. In 2021, Padre Azul honored this wonderful tradition with its first limited Artist Edition. This series continues with the Artist Edition 2022. A tequila made in female cooperation dedicated to all our beautiful women, with proceeds going directly into the Padre Foundation to support local communities
This year’s Limited Edition is made with female cooperation and dedication to our beloved women. We put all our love and passion into this bottle – 100% blue agave and double aged in hand-selected bourbon barrels. The bottle’s outstanding design by Laura Garcia Rulfo makes it not only a pleasure for the palate but also for the eyes.
Moreover, it was the united power of women that led to the development of this outrageous tequila. Adriana fell in love with a man and introduced him to the Mexican way of life, the culture, and the passion for tequila. Erika, who is the mastermind behind the Padre Azul tequila, is one of only a few females in this branch but also one of the most talented distillers! Laura created the lovely artwork for this year's edition, comprising love, craftsmanship, and culture into one piece – our limited Artist Edition!

Signature Laura Garcia Rulfo!
Laura Garcia Rulfo is a paintress who was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco in the 1950s. She discovered her empathy and artistic ability with the brush and canvas in her early years. Her creative development is broad and endorses her sensibility and work while placing herself among the greatest painters of Jalisco.
Laura has displayed her artwork in more than twenty solo exhibitions in prestigious art galleries and museums all over Mexico. Moreover, she was part of nearly fifty group exhibitions where she represented the women of Jalisco - with recognized success, national and international.
Her work has been presented in places such as Salon de Pintores de Jalisco, Centro Cultural Cabañas Guadalajara, as well as Salon de Pintores Modernos and Salon de la Mujer en el Arte at the Canto de Arte Moderno. The Miami Art Convention Center, Aqua Gallery New York City, Arte Expo San Francisco, and Taipei Fine Art Museum have hosted Laura's art too. This is only a small selection of the places where modern art collectors have already admired and bought her iconic work.
Laura has received several awards and honorable mentions for her work throughout her successful career. Her passionate work let her climb steps where women had little access and recognition. Today, our Padre Azul family is proud to work with Laura on our Limited Artist Edition 2022. The combination of her artwork and our tequila will support Mexican women by funding selected projects with our foundation.

The team of Padre Azul knows the value of our women, as they are a fundamental part of our success! With the creation of the Ramon por Vida foundation, we want to give back a portion of our proceeds to Mexican institutions, especially to support women in vulnerable situations. Each year we craft a limited edition in cooperation with local Mexican artists. Tequila lovers get a unique collectible, and communities in Jalisco get supported. That way, we pay our tribute to the land and the women who gave us so much! This year we support the VIFAC non-profit organization , that provides support for pregnant women in vulnerable states. Women can seek help at one of their attention centers all over Mexico and get medical and psychological care, as well as food and accommodation for mothers and babies.
The spirit appears in a bright straw yellow color with decent golden glints that make it shine. A medium body fills the bottle.
Sweet fruity tones such as peach, yellow apple, and cooked agave are very present. Accompanied by a light chocolate flavor and preserved fruits. The barrels influenced the spirit with great woody and caramel nuances.
Predominantly cooked agave, as well as barrel aromas with a woody tone and preserved caramel. Soft chocolate, peach, and apple flavors fill the mouth. All in all, very balanced and harmonious!
The tequila matured in two different American oak barrels. First, it aged for 6 months in an ex-Bourbon barrel, then two additional months in another ex-Bourbon barrel to give it that special final touch. The result is 3000 double-aged bottles filled with liquid gold.
This Double Barrel Reposado is enjoyed best at a temperature between 18°C and 20°C, preferably in a tumbler glass, and by sipping in good company. Allow the spirit to oxygenate for about 15 minutes to develop its best aromas. It also harmonizes well with different meat-based dishes.
