Distiller Notes
Aged for 6-7 months in American Oak, on entry the Chamucos Tequila Reposadot is very soft, silky mouth feel and well balanced with flavors of cooked blue agave, tropical fruit, vanilla, toffee, cinnamon spice, fennel and black pepper. Agave, fruit, vanilla and toffee, flavors linger. Finishes soft with the right amount of heat.

Tasting Panel
Tequila Chamucos Reposado Tequila salts the olfactory senses while edging out fragrances of wild flowers and apricot. Fruit, flower and earth combine on the palate for a complex layered effect, brushed by white pepper and a creaminess that works with the mineral-acidity on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Look for a soft gold hue and jalapeño zing on the aroma. The drying palate opens with a savory flash, then the long fade layers vanilla, spearmint and cinnamon. Aged 6-7 months.
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.
