Gran Reserva Reposado Tequila

Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Straw yellow color. Aromas and flavors of lemon oil, orange magic marker, dried under ripe mango, and fish oil with a lean, racy, dry light-to-medium body and a peppery, medium-long finish displaying accents of tart lemon, black pepper and cinnamon, and red apple. Assertively citrus with some vibrant spice, pepper, and heat; this will pop in a Margarita.

Reposado ("rested") Tequila is aged in wooden tanks or casks for a legal minimum period of at least two months, with the better-quality brands spending three to nine months in wood. It can be either 100% agave or mixto. Reposado Tequilas are the best-selling Tequilas in Mexico.
