The newest addition to Herradura's stunning collection of cask-finished Tequilas nods to Scotland. It smells like a dessert wine, showing stone fruit, Sherry and honey. Those flavors are echoed on the palate, a lingering, smoky wisp that evokes peaty Islay Scotch. It's smooth and sips well. Aged for 11 months, then transferred to single-malt Scotch casks from the Highland and Islay regions for three additional months of aging.
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.
