Cierto Reposado is an additive-free tequila from one of the most decorated houses in the category, made at NOM 1146 in Amatitán, Jalisco, under master distillers Enrique Fonseca and Sergio Mendoza. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
The reposado is aged for 11 months in French Limousin oak, the kind of cask more often used for cognac. That long rest at the top end of the reposado range gives a tequila of real depth, with the elegance and fine spice of French oak layered over cooked agave.
Enrique Fonseca comes from a family that is among the largest agave growers in Mexico, and Cierto draws on that expertise in agave selection. The brand has surpassed 1,000 international medals and awards, and the reposado has scored 94 points with a Gold Medal.
With its tall, slender bottle, Cierto Reposado is a refined gift and an outstanding sipping tequila.
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.
