Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Sprits of 2022
Tequila Tepozán Reposado is rested in used Kentucky White Oak Ex-Bourbon Barrels for 4 months. This resting in barrel gives the reposado a slight honeyed aroma which is balanced wonderfully on the nose of woodsy, aromatics of spice and dried fruit. A rich palate of roasted agave, papaya, light oak flavors, fresh peppers, and cinnamon leads to a focused finish leaving the sipper wanting more.

The bold aroma mixes jalapeño and agave nectar, plus a grassy hint. Honey and almond sweetness lead the palate, heading into a notably long, mouthwatering finish laced with vanilla, clove and white pepper. Overall, a lively mix of sweetness and spice. Aged 14 months in ex-bourbon barrels.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
