Tequila Atanasio Artisanal Reposado Tequila

Atanasio Reposado comes from Familia Landeros at NOM 1599 in El Medineño, Jalisco, a small family distillery in the lowlands near Tequila run with maestro tequilero René Carranza. The brand is named for Tío Atanasio, born in 1897, who worked agave his whole life, began distilling in his twenties and lived to 103; the family has farmed agave for over a century and built its own fábrica in 2011, keeping annual output small on purpose. The reposado starts with the same estate-grown blue Weber agave as the blanco, harvested by hand, cooked around 24 hours in a low-pressure autoclave, milled on a small roller mill, fermented six to eight days with ambient yeast in open stainless steel vats, and distilled twice in stainless pot stills. It then rests three months in medium-char ex-bourbon barrels before bottling at 40% ABV, and Tequila Matchmaker verifies it additive-free. Importer Skurnik calls it delicate and generous: dried apricot and pineapple against vanilla bean, cinnamon, clove, a subtle chile warmth, orange peel and roasted sweet potato, with the short barrel time adding baking spice without burying the agave. A sipping reposado from one of the Tequila Valley's smallest producers.
