100% Blue Weber Agave Reposado Tequila | 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
El Tesoro Reposado is crafted at the historic La Alteña Distillery in Jalisco using traditional methods: 48‑hour low‑temp baking in hornos, tahona crushing, natural yeast fermentation in wooden vats, and double distillation in copper pot stills. The spirit is aged for 9–11 months in American ex‑bourbon oak barrels (often de‑charred), resulting in a smooth, agave‑forward tequila with depth and character.

The whole El Tesoro line is awesome, and you can't be the quality for the price. The reposado tastes great as a sipper with a little ice, and works well in a margarite or white old fashioned if you want a bit more flavor then the anejo.
