Distiller Notes
Los Arango Reposado is a super premium tequila aged 6 months in American Oak barrels. The nose sees a hefty white pepper character, plus notes of walnut, green pepper, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, similar notes endure: silky, elegant, lingering pepper, sweet cooked agave, honey. This is refreshing, but atypical of reposado tequila, although the finish sees a reprise of pepper that takes things out on more of a punchy, spicy note.

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.
