For our reposado, we take the juicy goodness of our blanco and place it in barrels that have been lightly charred. The burnt wood interacts with the tequila over time to impart flavor and complexity as well as to mellow the raw spirit. While most tequilas are aged in old American oak barrels, we use French. It has a softer profile and touch that perfectly compliments agave. So maybe our pie is more like a galette. We taste notes of honey, cinnamon-vanilla, and butterscotch.
THE AGAVE SOURCE
Nosotros’ agave sourcing is uncommon in the tequila world. We sustainably source half of our agaves from the highlands of Jalisco and half from the lowlands. Historically, brands have focused on one altitude and ecology. We decided to blend climates to create something different.
Highland agaves are exposed to more sun and less water. The stress from this makes them sweet and fruity and they bring these properties to the tequila. Lowland agaves, where water and shade are more abundant, are herbal and earthy.
