ElVelo Reposado is a 100% puro de agave tequila from the Tequila Valley, rested in ex-Jack Daniel's barrels and bottled at a cocktail-ready 89 proof (44.5% ABV). This is the 1-liter bar format.
ElVelo celebrates the distinctive character of the Tequila Valley, with agave sourced entirely from its volcanic-rich soils. It was conceived in collaboration with second-generation Master Distiller Carlos Hernández Ramos of La Cofradía (NOM 1137) and thought-leading craft cocktail bartenders, with one goal: a tequila that makes the very best cocktails, from the Margarita to the Paloma, the Rosita and beyond.
The blue Weber agave is farmed organically in the volcanic soils of the lowlands by La Cofradía and neighboring growers. Production is traditional, with no diffusers or autoclaves, for an unadulterated, big and bold Valley profile. The reposado then rests for at least two months in ex-Jack Daniel's barrels.
That time in Tennessee whiskey barrels lends balanced depth, with gentle oak and spice layered over mellow, cooked agave, while the carefully chosen 44.5% ABV gives it the structure to stand up in a shaken drink. It is a nimble reposado that feels equally at home in cocktails that lean savory or sweet.
The 1-liter bottle is made with bartenders in mind, but it is just as welcome on a home bar where Margaritas are on the regular rotation.
