El Luchador Tequila Reposado represents the second stage in the evolution of El Luchador tequila, gaining both complexity and a smoother character through a resting period of four to six months in white oak barrels. This aging process allows the spirit to find a harmonious balance between the vibrant character of the agave and the subtle influence of the wood.
