Teremana Tequila Reposado

Description:

• Builds upon the base of Teremana Blanco, but with additional aging that introduces subtle oak and vanilla influences.
• Crafted with 100% Blue Weber agave, hand-selected from mature plants in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
• Agave hearts are roasted in traditional brick ovens to caramelize the sugars.
• Distilled in small batches using handmade copper pot stills for a smooth and refined base.
• Aged in former bourbon barrels for a minimum of two months, resulting in a pale gold color.
• Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: A delightful combination of agave and oak influences:
  • Agave: Still present from the blanco base, offering notes of cooked agave.
  • Oak: Introduced from the barrel aging, adding hints of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of spice.
  • Citrus: Zesty notes of grapefruit or lime might linger from the blanco, adding brightness.
  • Some reviewers also mention subtle hints of dried fruit or baking spices.
• Palate: Smooth and balanced, showcasing the interplay of agave, oak, and subtle sweetness:
  • Agave: Maintains a presence, offering cooked agave sweetness.
  • Oak: Plays a more prominent role compared to the blanco, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of peppery spice from the barrel.
  • Citrus: May still be present with zesty notes complementing the agave and oak.
  • Hints of baking spices or dried fruit might be noticeable for some tasters.
• Finish: Smooth and medium-length, with lingering notes of agave, oak, and a touch of sweetness from the vanilla and caramel.

Overall:

Teremana Reposado Tequila offers a step up in complexity from the Blanco expression. The aging in bourbon barrels adds subtle oak and vanilla notes that complement the core agave flavor. This reposado tequila is smooth and easy to drink, making it a good choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails where you want a touch more complexity than a blanco tequila.
