Straw color. Creamy aromas and flavors of fresh churned butter, lemon, cream, and chives or maybe garlic, vinyl, creamed corn, and under ripe peach with a velvety, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish with overtones of lemon pepper, sage, brioche, bananas and pineapple. A tropical and savory agave that will be good for cocktails.

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.
