Process & Profile
El Mexicano Reposado brings a gentle oak influence and soft fruit to the family's tequila range. This 80-proof expression offers a distinct way to explore the character of Highland agave, whether enjoyed slowly on its own or as part of a carefully balanced serve.
The BaƱuelos family produces El Mexicano at Hacienda El Mexicano, NOM 1588, in Arandas in the Jalisco Highlands. Three generations of tequila-making experience underpin the range, which begins with 100% Blue Weber agave. The maker describes agave, water and yeast as its foundation, with traditional slow cooking, open-air fermentation and custom pot stills shaping the production.
The maker specifies 90 days; 80% american oak and 20% french oak for this expression. The brief rest adds vanilla and buttery wood notes while leaving cooked agave at the center.

How to Enjoy
Start neat in a tulip-shaped glass, allowing a brief rest before returning to the aroma. Compare the first sip with a later one after adding just a few drops of water. For a cooler pour, use one large ice cube and allow dilution to develop gradually.
Try it in a reposado Margarita or an Old Fashioned with a restrained amount of sweetener. The maker suggests pairings including red meat, fresh cheese, desserts and milk chocolate.
