Cava de Oro Reposado is a 100% blue agave tequila from the Tequila Puerta de Hierro distillery in Jalisco, NOM 1477, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is double distilled in traditional pot stills and rested for six months in French white oak barrels, a less common choice for tequila that adds a soft, elegant wood note.
In the glass it is bright straw. The aroma is fresh, with cooked agave and a soft woodiness. The palate is smooth and refined, with oak, cooked agave and caramel, and the finish is long and pleasant.
A reposado made for sharing good moments, neat or in a top-shelf margarita.
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. Reposado, meaning rested, is aged between two months and a year in oak, which gives a pale gold colour and a gentle touch of wood while keeping the agave bright and lively.

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.
