Description

Reposado Tequila is a type of tequila characterized by its aging process in oak barrels for a period ranging from 2 months to 1 year. This resting time gives it a smoother and more complex flavor, with smoky, vanilla, and caramel notes, making it ideal for preparing cocktails or for enjoying on its own.

Reposado tequila originates from Mexico, specifically from the Jalisco region, where it is produced from the Agave tequilana Weber, blue variety. This spirit is a key element in Mexican gastronomic culture and is internationally recognized for its quality and tradition.

Properties: Reposado tequila is a distilled spirit with a moderate alcohol level (generally around 38-40%), and thanks to its aging, it presents a more rounded aromatic profile than blanco tequila. In cooking, it adds a distinctive touch to marinades, sauces, and desserts, in addition to being the perfect base for cocktails such as the Reposado Margarita or the Tequila Sunrise.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Although in most countries it is simply known as "tequila reposado," in some places you might also hear "tequila añejo joven" or "tequila semi añejo," although these terms vary according to the exact maturation and are not official synonyms. It is important not to confuse it with "tequila blanco" (unaged) or with "tequila añejo" (aged for more than 1 year).
