El Tequileño Reposado Gran Reserva is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from the family-owned El Tequileño distillery in Tequila, Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV.
The reposado is aged at least eight months in American oak, then blended with a small amount of the brand's 18-month añejo aged in French and American oak, which adds depth and polish beyond a typical reposado.
Made with Highland agave from Los Altos, it balances cooked agave sweetness with vanilla, caramel and spice from the wood.
It is excellent neat and in an upscale margarita.
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.
