Naked Diablo Reposado is a 100% blue agave tequila aged in small batches for at least six months in 10-year-old bourbon oak barrels, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Reposado means rested: by law it ages from two months to less than a year in oak. Naked Diablo gives its reposado at least six months, in barrels that once held 10-year-old bourbon, for a balanced, rich and wonderfully smooth tequila.
This light amber, full-bodied tequila strikes a balance between bourbon, caramel, vanilla, agave and toasted coconut, with notes of butterscotch and clay. It is best experienced neat, on the rocks, or mixed into the occasional cocktail.
Its tall bottle with the black embossed label makes it a bold gift.
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.
Ex-bourbon barrels are a favorite for aging tequila, lending vanilla, caramel and toasted oak that complement cooked agave.
Six months is well beyond the two-month reposado minimum, giving a deeper color and rounder texture.
A reposado makes a richer Margarita than a blanco, with the oak adding warmth to the lime.
