Distiller Notes
The newest member of the Volans Family is their Reposado Tequila. It is 'rested' in used American white oak bourbon barrels for under one year. This imparts complexity, aromas, and flavors.
Fruity and earthy aromas along with oak, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and minerals. A rich and buttery mouthfeel with flavors of agave, minerals, subtle oak, caramel, and a sweet and peppered finish.
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.
