RG Legado Reposado is a 100% agave tequila aged in medium-toast white oak bourbon barrels, presented in a tall black-and-gold bottle.
Legado means legacy, and the brand's crest sits at the center of every label. The reposado rests in medium-toast white oak barrels that once held bourbon, which gives the tequila its golden color and rich, woody flavors.
The result is sweet and smooth, with oak and vanilla from the bourbon barrels layered over cooked agave. It is equally suited to sipping or mixing in cocktails.
The tall bottle with its black label and gold crest makes 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.
Bourbon barrels are a favorite for aging tequila, lending vanilla, caramel and toasted oak.
A medium toast keeps the wood influence balanced so the agave still shines through.
Pour it over a large ice cube with an orange peel to highlight the oak.
It also works well in a reposado Margarita, where the barrel notes add depth.
The tall bottle stands out on any back bar.
