Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 40%
Clear light gold color. Citrusy, tropical aromas of lemon, lime soda, caramel, circus peanut, and toasted coconut with a satiny, soft, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length almond, grilled lime, caramel apple, mango, honey, and butterscotch finish. A nicely balanced Reposado Tequila for more serious cocktails.

Reposado ("rested") Tequila is aged in wooden tanks or casks for a legal minimum period of at least two months, with the better-quality brands spending three to nine months in wood. It can be either 100% agave or mixto. Reposado Tequilas are the best-selling Tequilas in Mexico.
