Reposado Tequila 1,0 l - Sierra

Golden sheen and pure seduction: this is how the Tequila Reposado - Casa Serpiente presents itself in the glass. The color shines like liquid gold. The tears run rich and slowly down the rim. This looks noble. The clarity already suggests high quality.

On the nose a warm carpet of aromas opens. Ripe agave is clearly in focus. Caramel and gentle vanilla accompany it. A hint of honey nestles against ripe citrus zest. Subtle notes of roasted pineapple, almonds and light oak spice show themselves. A fine touch of cocoa and white pepper provides drive. The bouquet feels rounded, clean and very inviting.

On the palate the tequila starts silky and full. Juicy agave meets toffee and vanilla cream. A trace of salt and lime gives freshness and lift. Then follow roasted notes, a little marzipan and a hint of herbal tea. The oak remains mild and provides rhythm and depth. The alcohol at 35.0 Vol.% carries the aromas velvety and clearly. Nothing disturbs. Everything feels harmonious.

The texture shows grip and melt at once. The mid-palate shines with a warm agave heart, gentle sweetness and fine spice. The balance of fruit, wood and a delicate roasted note stays stable through to the finish. The aftertaste lingers long. Caramelized agave, vanilla bean and white pepper put the final point. Late flashes of orange and a touch of cocoa appear. This comes across as noble and very elegant.

When enjoyed neat the Reposado reveals all its magic. A Riedel tequila glass suits it very well. Even on large ice cubes the abundance of aromas remains intact. The 1.0 L bottle delivers strong value for bars and collectors. The origin from Mexico shapes the heart of the spirit. Every sample evokes images of sun, earth, wind and craftsmanship. A sip is like a journey through agave and fire.

As a cocktail spirit the drop shines in refined drinks. A Tommy’s Margarita becomes silky and clear. A Paloma dances bright and fresh. A Reposado Old Fashioned delivers depth and shine. Nevertheless: this Reposado especially invites pure, calm enjoyment. A short breath in the glass, then the full splendor opens. Thus the Tequila Reposado - Casa Serpiente shows class, style and soul.

Production of the Tequila Reposado from Casa Serpiente

The base is the blue Weber agave. Ripe piñas from red soils provide sweetness, power and a clear agave soul. Pure spring water and yeast round out the mash. Each harvest follows the rhythm of nature and the terroir.

The piñas are gently cooked in a brick oven. Gentle steam converts inulin into sugar. This creates notes of honey, caramel and gentle roasted spice. Milling follows with Tahona stone or roller mill. The must flows clear and sweet.

Fermentation runs slowly in open vats. Wild yeast and time build depth and finesse. Afterwards the spirit is distilled in copper. Double distilled, with a clean cut between heads, heart and tails. This preserves the pure agave voice in the heart of the spirit.

Maturation takes place in oak, mostly ex-bourbon barrels. Here the spirit gains vanilla, toffee and delicate tannin spice. The color adopts the golden tone. The air in the barrel shapes rounding and polish. Afterwards the spirit rests briefly, is gently brought down with water to 35.0 Vol.% and placed in the 1.0 L bottle.

Thus a Reposado is created with a noble line, velvety texture and fine depth. Craftsmanship, feeling and time go hand in hand. The aromas of agave, caramel and vanilla clearly stand out. The style remains clean, soft and yet lively.
