Bold tomato, lemon peel and honey lead the nose. The palate opens on the sweeter side, with coconut, vanilla and lemon cream leading into a zesty, mouthwatering finish that shows ginger and white pepper heat. Best Buy.
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.
