The story of Don Julio Reposado

Don Julio González held that reposado was tequila at its finest, and the Reposado is the bottle that carries that belief. It is made in Atotonilco El Alto, in the Jalisco highlands, where he founded his La Primavera distillery. The tequila is made from 100 per cent blue Weber agave.

The agave takes about seven years to mature, and each plant is harvested by hand. After distilling, the tequila is rested for at least eight months in American white oak. That is long enough to turn it a golden amber and soften it, without burying the agave under wood. The result is smooth, with cooked agave, vanilla and caramel on the palate, a little gentle oak, and a rich finish.

Reposado is a flexible tequila to have on the shelf. Sip it neat, or over one large ice cube if you like it cooler. It also works in a reposado margarita, where the oak adds a rounder note than a blanco does, and in a Paloma with fresh grapefruit juice and soda.
