A reposado that bridges two worlds, Compoveda's Los Altos expression is aged 8 months in American oak before a 3-month finish in California Cabernet wine barrels, crafting a profile that speaks equally to tequila lovers, wine enthusiasts, and bourbon fans.Produced at NOM 1068 in Capilla de Guadalupe, Los Altos, Jalisco by Master Distiller Sixto Vera Garcia, this reposado carries the hallmarks of the highland region: bright agave character refined by thoughtful barrel work, including the celebrated Lote 1 finished in Stag's Leap Cabernet barrels. Nose: Highland agave sweetness layered with warm oak, dried fruit, and subtle wine-barrel character. Palate: Smooth and approachable with notes of vanilla, cooked agave, ripe dark fruit, and a gentle bourbon-like warmth. Finish: Long and polished, with lingering oak, soft tannins, and a whisper of Cabernet that sets it apart from any standard reposado. Compoveda Reposado sips beautifully neat or on the rocks, and brings a sophisticated depth to cocktails like an Old Fashioned riff or a classic Paloma.Best enjoyed slowly to appreciate its layered complexity; this 100ml taster is the ideal introduction to Compoveda's craft, sourced from the agave-rich highlands of Los Altos, Jalisco.
