Tezon Tequila Reposado

Warm and multi-layered, Tezon Tequila Reposado is pale gold in color and aged for 8 to 10 months in seasoned white oak barrels. Reposado is light and smooth, with tastes of vanilla, spice and citrus, and a sweet, smoky tail.

The Difference

Agave - The red, mineral-rich volcanic soil and cool temperatures of Jalisco, Mexico provide the perfect environment for harvesting the blue agave that is unparalleled in size, taste, and value. We hand-harvest and prepare the ripe agave plants to ensure only the best go into Tezon. This care gives Tezon its superior aroma and taste.

Fire - Unlike most other tequila manufacturers, who quickly cook their agave for 24 hours, Tezon slowly roasts its agave in traditional brick ovens for three days, giving it a fuller organic flavor.

Tahona - The cornerstone of Tezon's production process, this traditional grinding wheel made from volcanic "tezontle" is used to crush the agave fibers and separate the pulp from the juice.

Spirit - The pulp and juice of the crushed agave is distilled twice in small copper pot stills to create tequila that is uniquely clean and smooth.

I find Tequila Tezon to be one of the most enjoyable tequilas on the market. The Reposado is non-agressive on the nose with hints of citrus, mint, and wet earth. At first taste their is a very slight alcohol burn before giving way to a flury of flavors including slight caramel, vanilla, and citrus. The flavor continues to change through the long finish and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and minty with just the slightly smoke and oak taste. I highly recommend this reposado to all. It is my new favorite sipping tequila and I have no problem drinking it on the rocks like a fine scotch glass after glass.

Absolutely wonderful. Just started a bottle last evening, and I will need much self control to not empty it too quickly.

Tezon Reposado NOM 1111 Tasted 2/19/07. Tezon Reposado is a pale yellow color and, personally, I did not think the tequila had a lot of taste to it. Aromas consist of moderate floral and fruit followed by mild earth scents. The first sip of the tequila is bitter and has a low amount of sweetness. The types of flavors Tezon Reposado has include moderate floral and earth. On the mild side, there is fruity, agave, and caramel hints of flavors. Unfortunately, the tequila finished with a short duration of flavor and hot, tingly alcohol intensity. I awarded Tezon Reposado the rating of C+ overall.
