Description
Doña Celia is a premium tequila brand named after La Catrina, a respected and influential woman in the Mexican town of Atotonilco, Jalisco, where the tequila is produced using traditional techniques and the finest ingredients.
This artwork “La Calavera Catrina” was a zinc etching originally created around 1910-1913 by Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada who was known for his images of political and social satire.
The engraving mocked those who pretended to be of a higher class even if it meant starving or going without flesh.
La Catrina soon became a symbolic figure during the time of the Mexican Revolution being associated with Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a pre-Colombian Meso-American festival of the observance of death and life that is celebrated on November 2nd in all of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula and parts of Central America.
To this day, Catrina continues to be a significant figure and she is one of the symbols regarding the Day of the Dead however she is also found to be in many books, cartoons, posters, figurines and artwork spanning over 100 years and is globally recognisable.
The detailed ceramic bottle of each tequila is reminiscent of her and as a striking display of her elegance and broad-brimmed hat.
She lives on and through her story, continues to make footprints of her legacy for all those around her to follow.
One look at the beautifully colourful bottle tells you exactly where the tequila is from.
Celia Maestri created this brand of artisanal tequilas and hand painted bottles in honour of her elegant and hardworking mother Mrs.
Celia Barragan de Villanueva “Case Maestri’s grandmother.” This Limited Edition 100% de Agave Añejo Tequila is truly one of a kind.
It’s stand-out bottle is carefully hand crafted and made out of ceramic material.
Produced at the Casa Maestri distillery, it’s aged in white oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months resulting in a rich and complex flavour that is sweet and woody.
It gives notes of roasted bell pepper, fudge, and brandied cherries with a smooth finish.
They utilise traditional slow baking in brick ovens and autoclaves to cook the blue agave hearts, and traditional mills (molinos) to extract the juices from the Agave.
