Description

The Olmeca Altos Tequila Reposado 100% Agave 38% Vol. 0.7 l is an authentic tequila reposado from Jalisco, produced in the Destileria Colonial de Jalisco in the heart of Mexico. This 100% agave tequila is made from the blue Weber agave and distilled using the traditional pot still method, creating a precise and characterful structure. The agave distillate is then matured for between 6 and 8 months in 200 litre oak barrels in which bourbon was previously stored. This reposado maturation in ex-bourbon barrels gives the Olmeca Altos Reposado additional depth, soft wood notes and harmonious vanilla flavours. Bottled at 38% vol., this Mexican reposado tequila is balanced, structured and versatile.

The Olmeca Altos Tequila Reposado 0.7 litre combines the fresh agave base with elegant cask character and typical reposado warmth. Oak wood, vanilla and caramel form the aromatic foundation, complemented by spicy accents and subtle fruity notes. The combination of traditional production, 100% agave and controlled barrel ageing makes this premium reposado tequila from Mexico a characterful interpretation of the reposado category.
