Romántico Tequila Reposado

Tequila Romántico is made at Tequila Selecto de Amatitán, NOM 1459, in Amatitán, Jalisco, in the lowland Tequila Valley, the same distillery behind the Riqueza Cultural ceramic bottles. It is 100% blue Weber agave cooked in stone and brick ovens, crushed on a roller mill, fermented without fibers in stainless steel tanks with natural spring water, and double distilled in stainless pot stills. The Reposado is rested eight months in oak, past the two-month minimum for the category but short enough that the agave still leads. The producer describes a soft pale amber color and a nose that is yeasty, with cinnamon, cooked agave, pear, herbs and a slight oak note, then cooked agave, vanilla, cinnamon and clove on the palate with a fruity finish that lingers. The lowland Amatitán base gives it an earthy, mineral backbone that the oak rounds without covering, which is exactly what a reposado is supposed to deliver. It is the most versatile bottle in the Romántico range: good enough to sip neat, and the eight months of barrel make it a better fit than the blanco for a spirit-forward cocktail like a tequila Old Fashioned or a reposado Manhattan with sweet vermouth.
