Distiller Notes
A 100% Agave Azul tequila, which rests six months in American oak barrels. It is light golden in color, and contains unique aromas of spiced citrus, apple, peach and followed by spiced agave flavors. This reposado is the perfect blend of agave and wood, and is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in premium cocktails.

Rested in barrels previously used to age Scotch whisky, this Tequila is complex, earthy and unlike any other. Where others are caramel-forward (the result of resting in used Bourbon barrels), this reposado is crisp, with woodsy, green flavors and subtle notes of coconut and toffee on the finish. The striking, bulbous bottle looks like a genie should pop out, capped as it is with a flame-shaped glass stopper.
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.
