Eduardo Sarabia — born in Los Angeles in 1976 and based in Guadalajara — built the design from his own iconography: crossed picks and spades for a childhood story of his grandfather chasing buried treasure, a two-peso coin stamped 1976 for the year he was born, and, on the back, a parrot, a rooster, and a she-goat lifted from the folk and musical narratives of his family's Sinaloa. The hand-painted ceramic comes in two finishes — Dorado, with 24-karat gold accents, and Color, which adds green and red to the animal motifs — so the run is a small one, around 450 bottles, and each is hand-painted. The liquid is a joven: unaged blanco blended with an añejo from Russian oak casks and another from amontillado sherry casks, an unusual pairing that explains the dried-fruit and toasted-almond notes.
