Southbound Tequila
Reposado Tequila

Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of petrichor and sea salt, roasted pepper, pickled and candied ginger, and marzipan with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, captivating, medium-length finish with notes of caramel and vanilla, jasmine tea and elderflower, salted white pineapple, and marzipan and bamboo skewers. A very pretty nose with fruit and flowers to balance out the light spice and sweet barrel characteristics; a good sipping Reposado that will elevate 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.
