Production of the Tequila Reposado from Casa de Agave

The base is Blue Weber agave from Jalisco. Ripe piñas are harvested by hand. The maestro selects only ripe hearts. The fibers are full of sugar and aromatic power.

The piñas are cooked slowly in the horno. Gentle heat releases sweetness and roasted aromas. The baking preserves the fruit and brings depth. As a gentler alternative, an autoclave can be used. The style here clearly favors oven rest and time.

After cooking comes the mill. The tahona gently crushes the fibers. This releases the sweet must with a fine fruit core. The juice flows fresh into the fermentation tank. Either cultured yeast or wild yeast lead the process. Slow fermentation strengthens depth and finesse.

The young wash then goes to distillation. It is distilled in a copper pot still. Copper tames harsh notes and clarifies the heart. The maestro separates heads and tails. Only the fine heart is kept. This results in a clean, clear distillate.

For aging, the tequila rests in oak. Mostly ex-bourbon barrels impart vanilla and caramel. The wood rounds pepper and citrus. The aging time for Reposado spans several months. The goal is a balance of sweetness, spice and wood. At the end a gentle filtration follows. Nothing takes the spirit's soul. Then bottling at 40.0%. Each bottle carries its own NOM number. This keeps origin clear and genuine.

The sum of ripe agave, oven roast, copper craft and barrel refinement shapes the profile. Tequila Reposado - Casa de Agave shows craftsmanship with style. Terroir and time speak from every sip.
