Distiller Notes
Mild pepper on the nose. The palate is clean with strong peppery flavors, and wood. The finish is also clean but fades quickly with more spicy notes.

The sweet red pepper nose is alluring and clean, offering up a perfume of lime, basil and maize. The palate gets tickled and teased by the zingy pepper, but also intrigued by the refined notes of cocoa and baked agave.
Tequila Reposado refers to Tequilas that have been ‘rested’, or aged, in oak barrels for a minimum of two months but not more than one year. Depending on the specific flavors a tequilero wishes to impart on the spirit, a variety of different barrels may be used, from Brandy and Bourbon, to Wine and Sherry. The time spent on the wood allows Reposado Tequilas to mellow as they age, softening and rounding powerful flavor components brought by the agave and marrying them to subtle notes of caramel and vanilla brought by the barrel itself.
