Craving a tequila that's both smooth and complex? Tequila reposado (or reposado tequila) might just be your new drink of choice.
Aged in American oak barrels for at least two months and up to a year, reposado (meaning "rested" in Spanish) bridges the bold vibrancy of blanco with the deeper character of añejo. This aging process in oak barrels imparts a rich flavor profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice, perfectly balancing the cooked agave sweetness with hints of baked apple and dried fruit.
The result? A spirit rich in flavor, warm in color, and endlessly versatile. It's often sipped neat or on the rocks, but it works just as well when used to elevate your favorite cocktails, especially classics like margaritas and palomas where reposado tequila pairs beautifully with lime juice, grapefruit soda, or a simple lime wedge.
Whether you're a long-time aficionado or just starting to explore the many different types of tequila, our collection helps you discover the true taste of Mexico.
What Makes Tequila Reposado Unique?
Unlike unaged blanco tequila, reposado matures in oak barrels, often American oak or bourbon barrels, allowing it to absorb subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices such as cinnamon and clove. This process not only softens the agave's bite but also adds a golden hue and layered complexity to the flavor profile, including hints of cocoa, butterscotch, and honey.

Reposado or Añejo?
Both reposado and añejo tequila are aged to enhance the flavor. So, which one you prefer comes down to personal preference.
Añejo is aged for one to three years in oak barrels, resulting in a darker, richer, and often smoother spirit with dominant notes of caramel, spice, and wood. On the other hand, reposado strikes a perfect balance, retaining the agave's freshness while still offering depth from barrel aging with a mellow nose and a smooth, spicy finish.
