Why Gifted Pour recommends it
For the friend who has moved past party shots and wants to taste where tequila comes from, this reposado makes a thoughtful gift. Each bottle reflects a single estate and harvest year of 100% blue weber agave from the Jalisco Highlands, which gives it a collectible quality a curious drinker will appreciate. It rests for 8 weeks and 8 days in ex-American oak whiskey barrels. That is just enough time to add vanilla, butterscotch, and a gentle oak depth without hiding the sweet cooked agave at its center. Cinnamon-like spice and ripe fruit fill out a balanced, smooth palate, and the finish is long and creamy with lingering notes of cream and overripe stone fruit. It suits a housewarming, a milestone birthday, or a thank-you for someone who hosts well. It pours easily neat, over ice, or in a Margarita with fruity, spicy undertones. Made at La Alteña Distillery for the brand founded by Carlos Camarena and Tomas Estes, it carries a clear sense of craftsmanship.
