Hornitos Tequila Reposado
Hornitos Tequila Reposado
Reposado | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL or 1.75L | Jalisco, Mexico | 100% Blue Agave
Process & Profile
Hornitos Tequila Reposado combines fresh agave character with a measured influence of American white oak. Made from 100% blue agave grown in Jalisco, Mexico, it undergoes double distillation before resting in oak. Its profile brings together apple, herbs, and subtle wood notes, making it suitable for sipping and mixing.
The tequila rests for at least two months in large oak vats. This approach limits wood contact, allowing the agave to remain prominent while developing additional body and depth. The result is a pale-straw reposado with a medium-to-full texture and a warm, lightly drying finish.
Choose the 750mL bottle for a standard home-bar format or the larger 1.75L option for preparing cocktails at gatherings. Both sizes contain the same Hornitos Reposado expression at 80 proof.
