Distiller Notes
Pueblo Viejo Reposado Tequila has a straw color, clean and transparent with golden-green hues. Medium to high bodied. The caramel aroma of cooked agave remains on the nose, while subtle aromas ranging from floral to citrus, butter, and ripened fruit can also be perceived. The palate confirms the aromas of butter and ripe fruit with the additional of pepper and cinnamon flavors to finish.

The rose-gold tinge and luscious vanilla scent entice on the nose. The palate is vanilla-forward, brushed with almond and coconut, then finishes with a lemony, gingery burst.
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.
