Arette Artesanal Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Arette Artesanal Reposado is a reposado tequila from El Llano (NOM 1109) in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. It is made from 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave from the Tequila Valley and aged for 11 months in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The agave is cooked in stone and brick ovens, fermented in open-air cement tanks and double-distilled in pot stills before resting. The oak is intended to support the agave rather than cover it. On the nose there is light cooked agave, tropical fruit, vanilla and pepper. The palate brings cooked agave with light oak, butterscotch and baking spices, with almond, cocoa and lime zest in support. The finish is dry and toasty, soft and velvety.
