El Alto Reposado Tequila

Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Clear golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of lemon rind, banana, pineapple, green apple, bergamot, and pine and cedar with a round, off-dry medium body and a long finish that shows notes of vanilla milk in light coffee, peanut brittle, cocoa nibs, and butterscotch. Tons of rich, complex flavors that interact very well; chocolate and tropical notes are finely in balance.

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.
