El Tesoro Reposado Tequila

100% Blue Weber Agave Reposado Tequila | 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

El Tesoro Reposado is crafted at the historic La Alteña Distillery in Jalisco using traditional methods: 48‑hour low‑temp baking in hornos, tahona crushing, natural yeast fermentation in wooden vats, and double distillation in copper pot stills. The spirit is aged for 9–11 months in American ex‑bourbon oak barrels (often de‑charred), resulting in a smooth, agave‑forward tequila with depth and character.
