Calle 23 "Criollo" 2026 Limited Edition Reposado Tequila

Calle 23’s original Criollo Blanco became a cult favorite, and Sophie Decobecq’s follow-up takes this distinctive agave in an entirely new direction. Created after the 2018 release honoring her first son, Abel, Criollo El Dos celebrates her second son, Eliès, with a limited-edition blend built around añejo tequila, complemented by smaller contributions of extra añejo and reposado. The foundation remains blue agave criollo, the unusually small plants prized for their high sugar content that inspired the original bottling. Rather than repeat that blanco, Sophie chose to explore how barrel maturation could develop the character of this special raw material. Bottled at 46.7% ABV and made without additives, El Dos brings together three categories of aged tequila in a single composition. The presentation is equally thoughtful: a hand-blown bottle made from recycled glass, decorated with hand-drawn artwork by Rose Guerrero. For those who followed the original Criollo, this is a particularly exciting next chapter, pairing Sophie’s fascination with these exceptional agaves with a distinctly different approach to aging and blending.
