Tequila Reposado

Tequila Reposado translates as “rested tequila” – a name that perfectly captures its character. It is aged for at least two months and up to one year, most often in oak barrels previously used for bourbon. During this time, it develops a soft golden hue and a flavor profile that bridges the freshness of young tequilas with the depth of aged ones.

How Tequila Reposado tastes

Compared to Tequila Blanco, Reposado has a smoother and rounder profile. You’ll notice notes of vanilla, honey, caramel, and oak blending naturally with the herbal and citrus freshness of agave. It’s the ideal choice for those transitioning from clear Blanco tequila to something gentler yet still full of energy.

100% agave as a mark of quality

Authentic Tequila Reposado should carry the 100% agave label, meaning it’s made entirely from blue agave with no added sugars. Such tequilas are smoother, more aromatic, and maintain the true Mexican character.

How to enjoy it

Reposado is versatile – enjoy it neat at room temperature or with ice to highlight its smoothness. In cocktails such as Tequila Old Fashioned or Paloma Reposado, it adds depth and a warm wooden tone.
