Casino Azul Reposado (75cl, 40%)

Casino Azul Reposado is a reposado tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico, rested in oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. The rest gives it a pale straw colour, with vanilla and light spice over the agave, while keeping the floral, herbal freshness of the blanco underneath. Reposado is tequila rested in oak for more than two months but less than a year, so the barrel adds light colour and vanilla, caramel and spice notes while keeping the agave character forward. Casino Azul's Reposado keeps the house style through that rest, softened by wood into something rounder and more floral. Light beige-straw in colour, with a pleasant, complex aroma of smooth floral overtones over an earthy base and leathery wood. Fresh flowers and herbs carry through a balanced body to a finish of leather and oak.
