el Jimador Reposado is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Bright agave dances with the subtleties of American oak in this double-distilled tequila.
Warm and amber-kissed, it is aged in el Jimador's own barrels for two to twelve months.
The agave is hand harvested, and the tequila is made with natural fermentation.
It is named for the jimador, the skilled harvester who cuts the agave by hand, pictured on the embossed bottle.
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.

How to Enjoy It
el Jimador Reposado is a natural for margaritas: shake it with fresh lime juice and orange liqueur, or keep it simple with lime and agave syrup. It shines in a Paloma with grapefruit soda and a salted rim, and makes a smooth Tequila Sunrise or a Reposado Old Fashioned. Sip it neat or over ice with an orange slice and a pinch of cinnamon. Pair it with tacos al pastor, carne asada, enchiladas, guacamole and churros. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
