Onda Reposado is a small-batch, additive-free tequila made from hand-cultivated Agave Azul, aged in select American white oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Onda, Spanish for wave, was founded by actress Shay Mitchell. Its tequila is slow-cooked in steam ovens to unlock the agave's natural sweetness, then milled with a traditional volcanic stone tahona, whose slow rotating passage extracts the richness of the agave and gives the tequila a smoother, sweeter profile. The juices and fibers ferment in stainless steel tanks exposed to the natural yeasts in the Amatitán air, the most traditional style of fermentation, before double distillation in copper pot stills.
The time in American white oak enhances the rich notes of roasted agave and imparts a golden hue.
Additive-free, 100% Agave Azul and naturally gluten free.
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.
