Tequila Reposado

The history of Reposado Tequila intertwines with the evolution of tequila-making in Mexico. First produced in the 18th century, tequila was traditionally consumed unaged. The introduction of aging came later, as distillers sought to refine the spirit's character. Reposado, meaning 'rested', emerged as a delightful middle ground, aged just enough to enrich the flavour without overshadowing the agave's essence. Reposado gained legal definition in 1974, setting precise aging standards. This marked a new chapter, as Reposado became a symbol of Mexican innovation, marrying tradition with a nuanced approach to craft and flavour.

Reposado Tequila's versatility makes it perfect for various serving styles. For a pure tasting experience, serve it neat in a snifter to appreciate its aroma and full flavour profile. If you prefer a smoother sip, Reposado on the rocks gently opens up its complex notes. In cocktails, Reposado brings depth and warmth; try it in a Paloma or a refined Tequila Old Fashioned for a delightful twist. For a festive touch, pair it with sangrita, a traditional chaser of citrus and spice, enhancing the spirit's rich character. Reposado is a celebration, best enjoyed in good company and at a leisurely pace.

Reposado Tequila begins its journey as Blue Weber agave, harvested from rich Mexican soil. The hearts of the agave, or piñas, are cooked to release sugars, then crushed to extract the sweet agave juice. This juice is fermented, then distilled to become a clear, vibrant Blanco tequila. The transformation into Reposado occurs as the tequila rests in oak barrels for two months to a year. This maturation period allows the spirit to mellow, adopting the oak's warm, subtle flavours and a soft golden hue, culminating in a beautifully balanced and complex spirit.

To truly appreciate Reposado Tequila, consider the context and your personal preference. For a pure experience, sip it neat at room temperature. Let it sit in your glass for a moment, then take small sips to savour the complex blend of agave and oak. If you prefer a cooler touch, try it on the rocks; the ice subtly dilutes and chills the spirit, revealing different flavour notes. Reposado also shines in cocktails, offering depth and character. Classics like the Margarita or Tequila Sunrise are elevated with Reposado's rich profile. However you choose to enjoy it, Reposado promises a journey of flavour and heritage.
