Distiller Notes
This tequila balances the jammy flavor of ripe agave with the caramel and spices produced during nearly 1 year of aging. The secret lies in making a sip worthy silver tequila and then in aging in both new toasted oak and rye whiskey barrels. Savor it near or stir truly indulgent cocktails.
A graceful balance of ripe agave, wood spices and a mellow texture. Made with a combination of traditional tequila techniques for robust flavor and California wine making for a velvety finish aged in new and ex rye American oak barrels, IXÁ Reposado Tequila bursts with flavor but without the burn.

Bright gold in the glass, this organic Tequila shows rounded notes of vanilla and buttery brioche, enlivened by a gentle white-floral touch and a sprinkling of baking spices. Squeeze some organic grapefruit juice and start making all-organic palomas.
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.
