Look for vanilla and coconut aromas, plus a hint of savory edge. The palate is distinctly herbaceous, like bunches of mint and tarragon surrounded by a halo of coconut and vanilla. The finish shows graphite, menthol and mouthwatering white and black pepper.
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.
