Siempre Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Siempre Reposado is a reposado tequila made from 100% single-estate highland Blue Weber agave, distilled by the Vivanco family in Arandas, Jalisco, and rested 2-6 months in American oak barrels. From Siempre Spirits, founded by Monica Sanita and Alex Lacroix, it is verified additive-free: double-distilled in copper stills, open-air fermented with rum and champagne yeast, stone/brick-oven cooked, and finished with hand-fired char. It shows oak, honey and vanilla underpinned by cooked agave, with apple, biscuit, caramel and a whisper of smoke; a creamy texture with caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, subtle spice and citrus; and a warm, lasting, slightly sweet finish with dried pear and apple, roasted agave, baking chocolate and cracked pepper.
