Camarena Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A reposado from Familia Camarena in Arandas, in the Los Altos Highlands of Jalisco, made from 100% Blue Weber agave from high-elevation, mineral-rich red-clay fields. It is double distilled and rested 60 days in American oak barrels. The Camarena family co-founded Arandas two and a half centuries ago and brings six generations of tequila-making to this bottle; agave growers first, they bottled under their own name in 1938. The 60-day rest is a light, deliberate rest intended to soften and sweeten without covering the highland agave. Colour: pale wheat-gold. Nose: sweet toasted agave with soft spice, vanilla and brown sugar. Palate: silky and medium-bodied, with natural agave sweetness balanced by soft vanilla and caramel from the barrel. Finish: smooth, with lingering vanilla, caramel and a pleasant tingling spice.
