Familia Camarena Reposado is a 100% blue agave tequila from the Camarena family of Arandas, in the highlands of Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV.
It rests for 60 days in American oak barrels, which balances the natural sweetness of the agave with soft vanilla and caramel notes.
Expect sweet toasted agave and soft spice on the nose, a soft, smooth palate, and a gentle finish with lingering vanilla and caramel.
The Camarena family has made tequila in Arandas for generations, with its first distillery founded there in 1938.
Bold and smooth, it elevates any classic cocktail, and its embossed bottle with the family crest makes a handsome addition to the bar.
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.

How to Enjoy It
Camarena Reposado shines in classic cocktails: shake a Margarita with fresh lime and orange liqueur, build a Paloma with grapefruit soda and a salted rim, or stir a Reposado Old Fashioned with agave syrup and orange bitters. Its soft vanilla also suits a Tequila Sunrise and a spicy Bloody Maria. Sip it neat or over a large ice cube with an orange slice. Pair it with carnitas, fajitas, enchiladas, grilled corn and tres leches cake. 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.
