Cantera Negra Reposado is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila aged at least seven months in a delicate blend of ex-cognac and bourbon barrels, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Crafted with just three ingredients, agave, water and yeast, Cantera Negra's Reposado rests a minimum of seven months in ex-cognac and bourbon barrels for a more refined tequila, enjoyable for sipping or as a high-end base for craft cocktails.
It shows refined notes of roasted agave, oak and vanilla with a hint of citrus in the background, smooth and light bodied.
The amber decanter with its stone-inspired label makes it an elegant gift.
Reposado, meaning rested, is tequila aged between two months and a year in oak, which gives it a pale gold colour and a gentle touch of wood while keeping the agave bright and lively.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
Reposado tequila rests in oak for two months to under a year.
Cognac casks add dried fruit and floral notes.
Serve it neat in a copita or tulip glass.
Try it on the rocks with an orange slice.
It makes a refined Margarita.
It is a great gift for tequila lovers.
