Distiller Notes
Matured in American White Oak barrels previously used to rest tequila only. La Gran Señora Tequila Reposado has been in the wood for just over 6 months before being cold-filtered and bottled, leaving a clean, elegant tequila full of soft vanilla, dried apricot and mango, and an undertone of sweet potato.
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.
