Green agave up front, that evolves into roasted agave, cinnamon, mild oak, very mild char, apricot, and dashes of vanilla. The finish follows up with vanilla and mild cinnamon, with a short to medium length finish that is flower and tingly. Im guessing the lighter flavors come from its younger age, but this is not bland by any means. Its jam packed with flavor but relies less on the caramel, oak and vanilla notes. this is a wonderly bright reposado.
About this bottle
This reposado tequila is part of the brand's Barrel Select program in which specific casks are chosen for maturation. Its creation begins with single estate agave harvested from Rancho El Nacimiento, one of many fields owned and operated by the family of Tequila Ocho co-founder Carlos Camarena in Jalisco. The tequila is made with traditional production processes including brick ovens and wooden fermenters. The barrels selected here for maturation are ex-bourbon barrels from Brooklyn-based Widow Jane Distillery. The tequila is aged for eight weeks and eight days in these barrels and then bottled at 91 proof. Only 1,000 cases were produced. Available in select US markets beginning October 2022. (SRP $74.99)
