Quita Penas Reposado Tequila

Quita Penas Reposado is the oak-rested sibling of the Quita Penas Blanco, made at NOM 1368, the Corralejo distillery in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, which is one of the only tequila producers operating outside Jalisco. Corralejo's hacienda dates to the colonial era and the brand sells on that heritage, but Quita Penas is its value label, a 100% blue Weber agave tequila made to be mixed and priced accordingly. The production is the same as the blanco: agave cooked under pressure in autoclaves, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel from 100% agave, then double distilled in copper pot stills. The reposado is then rested in oak barrels before bottling at 40% ABV for the US market; the distillery does not publish the exact rest time or barrel origin. Tequila Matchmaker's community notes on this bottle run to cooked agave, oak, earth, citrus, caramel and both black and white pepper, which reads as a blanco with a light coat of wood rather than a heavily oaked sipper. That makes it a sensible reposado for a spicy margarita, a tequila old fashioned or a paloma where you want a little vanilla rounding the edges without paying añejo money.
