Reposado Tequila
You'll feel like you've found a hidden treasure with this rich, golden Reposado. You first experience a sweetness of wood and butterscotch on the nose, with a long, lingering finish of blue agave...giving you that vintage tequila experience. This reposado is changing how things are done by aging its complex Silver Tequila for 8 months in Canadian oak barrels. The tight grains allow the characteristics of the wood to influence the tequila while staying true to the bold, complex flavors from the El Bastón Del Rey Silver. This tequila will leave you saying, "Stop talking, I'm having a moment."
