Process & Profile

Atanasio Tequila Reposado balances fresh agave character with a restrained oak influence. Produced by Familia Landeros in El Medineño, Jalisco, under maestro tequilero René Carranza, it begins with mature Blue Weber agave cooked in an autoclave and crushed using a roller mill. Natural, open-air fermentation precedes two distillations in stainless steel pot stills.

The tequila then rests for three months in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. This brief maturation introduces light vanilla, dried fruit, and gentle wood notes while keeping agave at the center. Citrus carries through the finish, creating a lightly aged expression suited to both sipping and cocktails.

How to Enjoy

Serve neat in a tequila tasting glass to explore the balance of agave, vanilla, and citrus. Add a large ice cube if you prefer a chilled pour with gradual dilution.
