Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of pickled ginger, vanilla creme brulee with grilled orange and peach, green apple and elderflower syrup, and caramel and roasted nuts with a velvety, bright, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, brisk finish with accents of poached peaches, cinnamon roasted poblano, spicy ginger, and coconut and cream soda. Delicate and light yet an excellent product on the nose and palate; agave forward with an elegant integration of subtle barrel flavors.

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.
