Reposado Tequila
Reposado tequila is a type of tequila that has been aged for two months to one year in oak barrels. The aging process gives reposado tequila a smooth, mellow flavor with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices. It is also typically lighter in color than other types of tequila, such as añejo or extra añejo.
The name "reposado" comes from the Spanish word for "rested." Reposado tequila is typically aged in used oak barrels, which gives it a more complex flavor than other types of tequila. The barrels used to age reposado tequila can be made from a variety of woods, but American oak is the most common.
Reposado tequila is typically enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It can also be used in cocktails, but its smooth flavor can blend well with other ingredients. Some popular cocktails that use reposado tequila include the margarita, the paloma, and the old fashioned.
Here are some of the differences between reposado tequila and other types of tequila:
- Aging time: Reposado tequila is aged for two months to one year. Blanco tequila is not aged, while añejo tequila is aged for at least one year, but no more than three years. Extra añejo tequila is aged for at least three years.
