Reposado

Reposado translates to "rested," which is exactly what this tequila is. By law, it must spend between two and twelve months aging in oak barrels, usually American white oak. This brief contact with wood softens the fiery bite of unaged blanco tequila, adding warm notes of vanilla, caramel, and soft baking spices while still letting the bright, earthy flavor of the blue agave shine through.

When browsing, always look for "100% de Agave" on the label to ensure there are no cheap sugar additives. The flavor varies depending on the type of barrel used and the aging duration. Lightly aged bottles retain a fresh, peppery kick, while those closer to the twelve-month mark taste richer and more complex. Enjoy reposado neat, on the rocks, or use it to elevate a classic margarita with a deeper, smoother character. It also pairs beautifully with grilled meats and rich Mexican dishes.
