Herencia Mexicana Reposado Tequila

Herencia Mexicana, "Mexican heritage," is a traditionally made tequila brand that has moved between several distilleries over the years: the range was long produced at NOM 1079, the Agave Tequilana Productores y Comercializadores distillery in the southern Los Altos of Jalisco, where the agave is slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens and double distilled in copper pot stills, and the most recent reposado bottlings list NOM 1646 in the Tequila Valley. Either way it's 100% blue Weber agave, rested in oak for between two months and a year as the reposado category requires, sitting between the Blanco and the Añejo in the lineup. Reviewers on Tequila Matchmaker, with close to a hundred ratings logged, find cooked agave leading both the nose and palate, followed by vanilla, cinnamon, oak, caramel and black pepper, with softer notes of butter and butterscotch; one taster sums it up as keeping much of its younger earthy, vegetal self while picking up pepper, spice and soft oaky richness. It's a well-balanced, fairly priced reposado that works as an everyday sipper on the rocks, and it's a step up in a Margarita, a reposado Paloma, or a tequila Old Fashioned with agave syrup and orange bitters.
