Distiller Notes
Double distilled mezcal, Reposado in French oak barrels for periods of six to eight months. The aromas are more accentuated to wood, while perceiving the characteristic tones of our joven mezcal with the incorporation of aromas of coffee and caramel. On the palate, more accented wooden notes with a certain astringency are identifiable, more rounded as a whole.

Tasting Panel
Los Amantes Mezcal Reposado has an inviting perfume of agave, blueberry and smoked lime. The delicate, gentle flavors and creamy texture earmark an elegant spirit. Sandalwood and buttercream meld with an echo of minerality.
Reposado translates literally to ‘rested’ and refers to a Mezcal that has aged in oak barrels between sixty days to one year. This resting time allows the smoky, vegetal flavors and aromas of the young new-make spirit to soften and mellow, letting the complex qualities of the agave and barrel emerge. Depending on the type of barrel used, the wood will impart both color and flavor components of its own, such as molasses, toffee and vanilla.
