Los Arango Reposado Tequila

Los Arango Reposado is Corralejo's sister tequila rested in oak — named for Doroteo Arango, the birth name of Pancho Villa — made at Hacienda Corralejo in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, one of the few tequilas made outside Jalisco. The hacienda is the birthplace of Miguel Hidalgo, the father of Mexican independence, and the distillery, NOM 1368, has made Corralejo there since 1996 in Charentais copper pot stills; Los Arango is the second label, using agave from the same estate, in a rounder bottle with the revolutionary on the label. The Reposado is 100% blue Weber agave from the Guanajuato fields, slow-cooked, double-distilled in the hacienda's copper pots, rested in American oak for the reposado term, and bottled at 40% ABV. Expect a nose of cooked agave, vanilla, and light caramel with a faint herbal greenness from the bajío, opening into a smooth, rounded, gently sweet palate of agave, honey, and oak with an easy, warm finish — the same approachable, full-bodied house style the Village Voice praised in Corralejo. Honest note: a value reposado from a real hacienda with a Corralejo pedigree, for the drinker who wants the Guanajuato story in a reposado Margarita. For a reposado Margarita, on the rocks, or neat. Villa's name, rested.
