Distiller Notes
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.
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.
