Tequila ReposadoDistilled from 100% blue Weber agave, it is aged from 2 months up to a year in barrels no larger than 20,000 L. Any type of wood is acceptable, although ex-bourbon barrels are most common. Reposado translates to "rested".

Tasting Notes
"The influence of the wood is very strong, adding a sort of Dr. Pepper-like cherry cough syrup flavor to the agave. That's not actually a bad thing, as it makes this a unique sipper. There is still enough of the traditional agave fruit flavors and warm spice to see it out into the finish."
