The Bad Stuff Reposado Tequila

The Bad Stuff is a California-based tequila brand founded by Felipe Soto Mares, Darren Enenstein and Susy Enenstein, made at the Soto Mares family's own distillery, Compañía Tequilera de Arandas, NOM 1460, in Arandas in the southern Highlands of Jalisco, from a family recipe the brand dates back 93 years. Soto Mares has more than 25 years of tequila making behind him and holds catador status at the Mexican tequila academy. The agave is estate-grown blue Weber from pesticide-free Highlands fields, hand-selected by the jimador, steam-cooked in autoclaves, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel, and double distilled in copper alembic stills. The Reposado, which the brand calls La Mala, rests eight months in older medium-toast French oak, used wood that keeps the barrel in the background, then is bottled at 40% ABV. The brand says the flavor keeps expanding once the bottle is open, and tasters on Tequila Matchmaker log cooked agave with baking spice, light butterscotch and French oak sweetness, a fruity, floral side on the nose, and a palate of maple, roasted pumpkin, orange and agave with a warm, peppery finish. Sip it neat or stir it into a tequila old fashioned.
