Ollitas Tequila Reposado (70cl, 40%)

A reposado tequila made from 100% blue agave and triple distilled. It matures for six months in medium-toasted American white oak casks, adding wood and vanilla notes to the agave character and giving it a bright amber colour. The agave hearts are slowly steamed in brick ovens, then crushed and pressed five times, and fermentation uses the distillery's own yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Destilería Orendain is a family company founded in 1926 in the city of Tequila, Jalisco. Its La Mexicana distillery opened to visitors in 2015. The bottle contains 0.7 litres at 40% and comes without gift packaging. The nose shows cooked agave, vanilla and wood, with honey, fruit notes, dry tobacco and light spice. The palate brings pineapple and orange peel with cream, sweet caramel and oak. The long finish is warm and spicy, with wood and agave remaining present.
