1921 Tequila Reposado (75cl, 40%)

A reposado tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown on the brand's estate in the Highlands of Jalisco. It is double distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils after a 72-hour slow-cook cycle, then rested for 4 to 6 months in American white oak barrels. Each bottle is hand wax-sealed and finished with a hand-painted clay medallion. The short rest in oak is intended to soften the spirit while keeping the agave character present. The brand was created in 1996 and named for 1921, the concluding year of the Mexican Revolution. Per the brand, it shows a golden honey colour with bright transparency and elegant tears. The nose is sweet and gentle, with plum and caramel notes; the palate is smooth and fruity with floral notes, vanilla, spicy agave and citrus; the finish is delicate white oak with subtle toasted hazelnut and a long-lasting fruit aftertaste.
