DeLeón Reposado Tequila

DeLeón was founded by Brent Hocking in 2008 and launched in the United States on Cinco de Mayo 2009 as a high-end tequila. In 2013 Diageo and Sean Combs bought the brand as equal partners, and after that partnership ended in 2024 Diageo became sole owner. The tequila is made in Purísima del Rincón, Guanajuato, one of the few municipalities outside Jalisco permitted to make tequila, from 100% blue Weber agave sourced from the Los Altos highlands and harvested at six to eight years old. It is double distilled in alembic-style pot stills using water from three natural spring wells, and the brand states it uses none of the additives Mexican regulations permit: no glycerin, sucrose, oak extract or caramel coloring. The reposado is aged in American oak barrels and then finished in French oak wine casks, which is where its slightly wine-like, dried-fruit character comes from. Published tasting notes describe cinnamon and butterscotch on the nose, gentle oak, caramel, spice and dried fruit on the palate, and red berry, vanilla and clove on the finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, it works over a large cube or in a margarita with more depth than a blanco gives.
