Tequila Gran Dovejo Reposado

Tequila Gran Dovejo Reposado is 100% Blue Agave, and rests in American white oak barrels for 6 to 9 months, until the aroma and body is approved by Master Distiller Leopoldo Solis Tinoco.

Tequila Gran Dovejo is a small-batch, traditionally crafted, premium tequila. Made from 100% of the finest, single-estate blue agave, our plants are exclusively grown in the beautiful highlands of Jalisco, Mexico by the Vivanco family who has been producing some of the finest agave in the region for over five generations. The agave plants are harvested at the peak of maturity, stripped of their "pencas", and the "piñas" are then slowly roasted in traditional clay ovens for up to 36 hours. Once roasted, the "piñas" are shredded in a mill after which the sweet agave juices are extracted. Once the juices are isolated, they are fermented with the use of champagne yeast while the harmonious sounds of music play in the background as this is found to optimize the sugar conversion. Our tequila is then double distilled in Alembic copper pot stills. Expressing his craftsmanship and worthy of carrying his name, Mr. Leopoldo Solis Tinoco introduces his exquisite creation: Tequila Gran Dovejo. Masterfully done.

Like the blanco, this is a very balanced tequila. This repo has a lot of complexity in the nose, adding cinnamon to the agave, and a slight bit of fruit.

The taste exceeds the nose in many ways. It has a butterscotch taste on the tongue, but also a more pronounced bit of fruit (orange, mango, payaya), with a very smooth finish.

The finish gets the cinnamon going again, but it is all very smooth and balanced.

A very attractive bottle and presentation. As with the blanco, this would be a good introduction into tasting premium tequilas.
