Tapatio Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Tapatio Reposado Tequila is a reposado tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave at La Alteña Distillery in Arandas, Jalisco. It is rested for four to six months in ex-bourbon barrels and is additive-free. The Camarena family's own brand is made at the same highland distillery as El Tesoro and Ocho by third-generation master distiller Carlos Camarena. Estate-grown Los Altos agave is cooked in brick ovens, crushed by tahona and roller mill, fermented in open air in wood tanks, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. It shows fruity cooked agave, apple and pear over vanilla and caramel, with white pepper, a whisper of smoke, and clove and sandalwood underneath. The ex-bourbon rest softens without sweetening.
