El Alto Reposado Tequila

Category: Reposado Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of grilled bell pepper, smoked black pepper, toasted orange zest, and dried garden herbs with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and an appealing, medium-length finish conveying nuances of roasted agave and charred oak, smoked bell pepper with coconut cream and baking spices, bitter caramel and black pepper, and smoked green tea. Complex and tasty with the agave shining through and a light barrel character that should appeal to Single Malt drinkers.

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.
