Distiller Notes
Pale yellow in appearance, due to this tequilas resting of 9 months in formerly used Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. This reposado is reminiscent on the nose of coconut, creme brulee and bell peppers, and tastes much of the same, with added notes of vanilla.
Proof: 80
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.
