The story of Olmeca Tequila Reposado

Olmeca is made in Arandas, in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, at Destilería Colonial de Jalisco. The distillery was built by Seagram, with work starting in November 1994 and the site finished in October 1997, and Pernod Ricard took over the tequila brands and the distillery in 2001.

The agaves are slow roasted in traditional brick ovens and distilled in copper pot stills. Olmeca Reposado is a mixto, so some of its sugars come from sources other than agave, which puts it in a different class from the 100 per cent agave Altos range made by the same company.

Reposado means rested. This one spends time in former bourbon barrels, at least five months by the producer's account, and the wood gives it a gentle oak edge. The flavour is fruity and sweet, slightly woody, with a touch of smoke, and it finishes warm.

That easy sweetness works well in a Paloma, with grapefruit soda, lime and plenty of ice. It also suits a margarita made with fresh lime and orange liqueur.
