Tequila Reposado
Mijenta // Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Launched in December 2020, Mijenta Tequila Reposado is made using ripe blue weber agave from the Highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco exclusively. The production is overseen by Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero which includes the hand selecting of the bespoke barrels for aging.
In this case, American white oak, French oak, and French acacia casks were used. The tequila was aged up to six months in a blend of these barrels and tasted every 15 days to ensure optimal flavor.

Tasting Notes
"Barrels used here definitely have influenced the tequila with added barrel spices, but it's more like a 3 on a scale of 10 -- not overpowering, but present. There's also a touch of tropical fruits, cashews, and milk chocolate enhancing the flavors of herbaceous agave. It has both a sweetness and a savoriness in equal measure. It's one that makes you go back to it to see what else you can find. Definitely not the same old sweet vanilla notes that you see in most aged tequilas which is a win in my book."
