Sombrero Tequila Reposado

Sombrero Tequila Reposado is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila built for mixing rather than contemplation, a budget rested expression that carries the agave sweetness of the blanco with a light layer of oak on top. It sits in the class because it has spent four months in barrel, two beyond the two month minimum that defines a reposado under NOM-006, enough to soften and round the spirit without burying its agave core.

The nose is gentle and restrained, cooked agave with faint herbal mint, light fruit and a touch of caramel. On the palate it reads a shade fruitier than a blanco, with a little caramel sweetness and a tame, mild finish. Bottled at 38%, it is mellow enough to drink as a shot and forgiving enough to carry a margarita or a long drink without dominating the glass.
