La Leyenda Legends Club Reposado is a rested agave spirit made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Zacatecas, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
La Leyenda grows its agave on its own estate in Zacatecas and releases its spirits in annual limited editions.
Its label reads 'Los Clásicos Nunca Mueren', the classics never die, and each bottle carries hand-written bottle and batch numbers.
The reposado is rested in oak, adding gentle vanilla and caramel to the cooked-agave character of Blue Weber agave.
The brand sells through its Legends Club, a membership that gives access to each year's Blanco, Reposado and Añejo releases. The heavy, square black bottle with its silver stopper and minimalist label makes a handsome centrepiece on a back bar, and the reposado sits alongside the La Leyenda Añejo we already carry.

How to Enjoy It
Sip it neat in a copita or a Glencairn glass to enjoy its rested agave character, or over a single large ice cube. It also makes an excellent Old Fashioned-style agave cocktail with a dash of bitters and an orange twist, and a refined Paloma. Pair it with carnitas, mole, grilled meats and flan. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, orange slices and sal de gusano so guests can serve themselves.
