Aged a mere 60 days “to mellow,” this reposado is lean rather than lush. Zesty aromas suggest sun-ripened tomato, lemon peel and roasted jalapeno. The palate opens with flecks of rubber, graphite and dried herbs, finishing brisk with a lemon-pepper exhale. Best Buy.
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.
