A kiss of oak. A chorus of agave. A snapshot of place.
The Art of Restraint
This is not your typical rested tequila; it’s a carefully composed interlude. Harvested from a named rancho and distilled by the legendary Carlos Camarena, this Reposado is aged for exactly 8 weeks and 8 days in ex-American whiskey barrels—just long enough to add warmth and roundness, never to mask the agave.
The nose offers a lovely bridge between raw and refined: roasted agave and citrus meet a delicate swirl of vanilla and baking spice. The palate is graceful, with agave still leading, softened by a hint of butterscotch and toasted oak. The barrel aging here is a whisper, not a shout. It’s not just “rested.” It’s refined.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat to appreciate the delicate balance, or use it to elevate a cocktail like a Paloma or a refined Margarita.
