What Is Reposado Tequila

Reposado Tequila begins life as blanco and rests in oak for a minimum of two months and up to one year. Ageing softens edges, deepens colour and layers vanilla, caramel and honeyed spice over the core of cooked agave.

How It Tastes

Expect aromas of ripe agave, vanilla and light oak spice. The palate is smooth and rounded with caramel, honey and soft baking spice, finishing clean with gentle sweetness and a touch of citrus.

How It Is Made

Cooked blue Weber agave is crushed and fermented, then distilled in copper pot or column stills. The spirit rests two to twelve months in barrels such as ex bourbon, American oak or French oak. Some labels use cask finishes for added nuance, while a few filter to produce cristalino style reposado.
