Sierra Reposado Tequila 700ml | 9 Month Oak Aged Mexico

Production Notes

Sierra Tequila Reposado is traditionally distilled twice in copper pot stills. It matures for nine months in toasted oak barrels, which gives it its shimmering golden colour. The fieldworkers (jimadores) at Sierra have years of experience, and they care for the agaves with their hands and hearts from the time they are planted to when they are harvested, which requires a lot of time and patience. They work the Sierra fields without the help of machines, which allows the plants to benefit from their natural environment in peace. Agaves are cut up by axe at Destilería Sierra and then placed in large stainless-steel tubes (autoclaves) and cooked gently. After 16 to 24 hours, the steamed agaves are taken out of their cooking pots. The fruit, which is now soft and mildly fruity, undergoes a step-by-step extraction process. Special yeast is added to the agave juice to ferment it, and by the end of the fermentation process, it is a kind of agave wine with between 8 and 10% alcohol content by volume. This is then traditionally distilled twice in copper vessels. There is one thing that all Destilería Sierra tequilas like Sierra Reposado have in common, and that is the traditional care with which they are handled throughout the entire production process.

This is then traditionally distilled twice in copper pot stills before maturing for nine months in toasted oak barrels, which gives it its shimmering golden colour. The result is a reposado with fresh, irresistible fruitiness carrying delicate notes of vanilla, caramel and herbs. The diversity of aromas makes it especially complex, earning numerous international awards. Reposado is the favourite variety of tequila amongst Mexicans, and the traditional care with which Sierra Reposado is handled throughout the entire production process at Destilería Sierra ensures consistent quality and the complex character that defines this exceptional tequila.
