Cincoro Reposado gains its remarkable aromas and taste from a very unique aging regimen. The barrels are imported from Kentucky, and were first used to age Bourbon. By aging Cincoro Blanco in these barrels, it highlights the smoothness of the Blanco, complimented by wood notes from aging 8-10 months in an underground cellar, considerably longer than the minimum 2 months required for Reposado. On the nose Cincoro Reposado has amazing notes of vanilla, baking spices, and toasted oak. On the palate, sweet cooked agave, caramel, white chocolate.

Caramel and banana melt across the tongue, joined by hints of sandalwood, jasmine, and ginger. Pekoe tea perks up the mid-palate, softly enhanced by cocoa powder and garnished with a dash of white pepper. Splendor in the glass.
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.
