Paladar Reposado Tequila

Paladar Reposado Tequila is a premium, handcrafted tequila produced by the Orendain family, one of the last independent founding families of tequila, with a heritage dating back to 1844. It is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested after at least seven years of growth from their own fields in Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens for 48 hours and fermented in open-air pine boxes using wild and proprietary yeasts. The tequila is double-distilled in a blend of copper and stainless-steel pot stills by Master Distiller Eduardo Orendain Jr. Paladar Reposado is aged for a period, often cited as 4-8 months (some sources specify six months), in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels. Each bottle is hand-dipped in the volcanic soil from their agave fields.

Tasting Notes:

• Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, featuring flavors of sweet agave, butterscotch, and a touch of spice, complemented by the warmth of oak and subtle vanilla undertones. ¹ Some note hints of cinnamon and gentle oak tannins.
