This rich version of reposado embraces all the flavors oak can impart. Look for a burnished gold hue and lots of vanilla on nose and palate. Maple, sarsaparilla, and cocoa all take their turns, leading into clove and allspice on the long finish. Aged six months
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.
