Wild Common Reposado (75cl, 43%)

An additive-free reposado tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco, Mexico, made at Cascahuin Distillery from 100% Blue Weber Agave. The agave is slow-roasted for 72 hours in small brick ovens, then extracted using both tahona and roller mill. The juice ferments with and without agave fibre in stainless steel and cement tanks before copper pot distillation, and the spirit rests in used bourbon barrels. The nose brings cooked agave, buttered toast, warm honey, blistered peppers, grilled sage and toasted coconut. The palate is sweet and mineral-driven, with roasted agave, cinnamon, black pepper, roasted pecans, vanilla, caramel, raisins and dates. The finish is long and viscous, with toasted herbs, sea salt, roasted nuts and stone fruit.
