Description:

El Tesoro Reposado Single Barrel is a premium, hand-selected tequila crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the red volcanic soils of Jalisco’s Highlands. Distilled using traditional methods and aged in American oak barrels for 9 to 11 months, each barrel of this reposado is individually chosen by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena to highlight the unique flavors of the agave and the subtle complexities imparted by the oak. As a single-barrel expression, every bottle offers a one-of-a-kind tasting experience.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance:
Golden amber with a clear, brilliant sheen and medium legs, reflecting its careful aging in oak.

Aroma:
Rich and inviting, with notes of cooked agave, caramel, and vanilla. Hints of oak, citrus zest, and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg add depth and intrigue.

Palate:
Smooth and full-bodied, featuring flavors of roasted agave, butterscotch, and honey. The oak influence introduces nuances of toasted almonds, light peppery spice, and a touch of dried fruit for a balanced and layered profile.

Finish:
Long and refined, with lingering notes of caramelized agave, oak spice, and a warm, slightly peppery finish.

Region:

Produced in the Highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco, the region’s mineral-rich red soils and cooler climate yield agave with sweeter and more floral characteristics. These qualities shine through in El Tesoro’s balanced and nuanced profile.

Accolades:

• Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
• Consistently praised by aficionados for its authenticity, complexity, and artisanal production methods.

Unique Features of Single Barrel:

• Hand-Selected Barrels: Each barrel is unique, offering slight variations in flavor and aroma.
• Limited Availability: Only a small number of bottles are produced from each barrel, making this a collector’s item.

El Tesoro Reposado Single Barrel Tequila is ideal for sipping neat, where its one-of-a-kind character can be fully appreciated. It’s also an excellent choice for premium cocktails like a reposado old fashioned, elevating any drink with its depth and smoothness.
