La Cofradia Tequila Reposado

La Cofradia Reposado is a 100% agave Blue Weber tequila from La Cofradia in Jalisco, a house with more than fifty years of tequila making and a reputation for a soft, accessible style. As a reposado it rests in oak past the two month NOM minimum, taking on light barrel character while the agave stays at the center of the palate.

The balance is the point here. The profile shows cooked agave, white pepper and a touch of citrus, lifted by a pale note of oak from the time in cask. Cooked agave and white pepper are honest markers of a well made rested tequila, and the gentle oak adds roundness without crowding them out. The house describes the result as harmonious and very supple. Bottled at 38%.
