Distiller Notes
Triple distilled and aged for six months in fine oak barrels for a rich and elevated experience, Reposado (En Ingles “Rested”) offers hints of vanilla, oak, honey, and caramel.
Proof: 80
With the help of the local jimadores, our three friends learned that better tequila begins with the best agaves. Aged between 7-8 years, each JAJA agave is cut and cooked in brick ovens for a total of 32 hours. Then, each batch is "rested" for 8 hours and fermented for an additional 72 hours, allowing for our unique JAJA flavor.
The mark of an outstanding tequila is a unique and distinguished profile. JAJA Tequila is triple distilled in copper-lined pot stills using volcanic water to create a smooth experience, batch after batch. Our Blanco is bottled immediately after a meticulous distillation process, while our Reposado is aged, then blended for an elevated finish.
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.
