El Tequilańo reposado is a 100% agave tequila rested in oak vats for a minimum of three months.

El Tequileño was launched 1st January 1959 by Jorge Salles Cuervo. He came from a family already connected to the tequila industry and had himself since 1941, producing tequila for Casa Cuervo at his two distilleries 'La Guarreña' and 'La Regional', both located in the town of Tequila.

Today El Tequileño has its own agave fields in the highlands of Jalisco, mainly close to the towns of Atotonilco & Tototlan. Once harvested, the agaves are transported to La Guarreña, the more modern of the company's two distilleries, where they are cooked in autoclaves. (La Regional distillery is now mostly used as a compost plant.) El Tequileño tequilas are doubled distilled in copper pot stills and bottled by a plant in Guadalajara.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 07/02/2011

Appearance:

Clear, very pale straw with green flecks.

Aroma:

Hint of smoke to a perfumed toffee, candied sweet nose, perhaps reminiscent of a cedar box filled with real Turkish delight.

Taste:

Slightly sweet palate with notes of salted toffee, white pepper, cabbage, wafts of smoke, cedar wood/tobacco and vanilla.

Aftertaste:

Smoke/cedar wood/cigar box emerges in the long finish.
