Partida Reposado (75cl, 40%)

Partida Reposado is a tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, aged six months in ex-Jack Daniel's American whiskey barrels. It is made from estate-grown blue Weber agave matured for seven to ten years in volcanic soil near a dormant volcano in the Tequila Valley. The piñas are slow-cooked for 20 hours in steel ovens and double-distilled in stainless steel stills under Master Distiller José Valdéz. Maturation in used Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey barrels adds vanilla and sweet, tangy oak alongside agave earthiness and fruit. The nose opens with cooked agave and mild honey, then pear, white flower and hazelnut, with old leather, butter and pimento. The palate is light and silky, with vanilla bean, caramel, ripe agave, ginger, white pepper, cocoa, sweet brine and lemon verbena. The finish is warm and gently drying, with oak pepper, mineral notes, buttery nuts, apricot and subtle tobacco.
