Don Vicente Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Don Vicente Reposado Tequila is a reposado tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave at El Pandillo Distillery (NOM 1579) in Jesús María, Jalisco, under master distiller Felipe J. Camarena. The blanco is rested for less than a year in used American white oak barrels. Production includes stone/brick-oven cooked agave, tahona extraction, open-air fermentation and double distillation in copper pot stills, and it is verified additive-free. The oak adds vanilla, caramel and butterscotch while cooked agave, minerality and earthiness remain prominent. The nose shows cooked agave, earth, minerality, citrus and black pepper; the palate is robust and agave-forward with earthy, herbal and peppery notes followed by vanilla, caramel and butterscotch; the finish is rich, oily, long and warming.
