Origin and history
Reposado tequila, meaning “rested,” originates from Mexico, the heartland of tequila production. This category of tequila is aged in oak barrels for two months to one year, a process that imparts a golden hue and a smoother, more refined flavor compared to its unaged counterpart, blanco tequila. The aging process allows reposado tequila to develop a balance of agave purity and woody notes from the barrel, making it a favorite among tequila enthusiasts. Reposado tequila emerged as distillers sought to innovate and cater to a growing audience desiring a tequila with more depth and complexity.

What is the difference between reposado tequila and añejo tequila?
Reposado and añejo are both types of aged tequilas, distinguished primarily by their aging periods. Reposado tequila is aged in oak barrels for a period of two months to one year. This aging process imparts a golden color and balances the agave flavors with subtle woody notes, making it smoother than unaged (blanco) tequila. Añejo tequila, on the other hand, is aged for one to three years, resulting in a darker color, a more complex flavor profile, and a smoother finish. The extended aging period allows for a deeper infusion of the wood’s characteristics, often giving añejo a richer, more nuanced taste compared to reposado. Both are enjoyed in various ways, including sipping neat, but the choice between them often depends on personal preference for flavor intensity and complexity.
How should I store my reposado tequila?
Store reposado tequila in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle upright to prevent the cork from deteriorating. Ensure the seal is tight to avoid oxidation. Ideal storage temperature is between 53-57°F (12-14°C).
What are some popular ways to enjoy reposado tequila?
