Nose

The AQARÁ Reposado comes across as a very lightly aged spirit with a touch of fresh oak and caramelizing sugar.

Taste

Very light caramel with notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and almond.

ACARÁ One of the massive agaves that will go into AQARÁ’s agave spirits.

Method / Background Notes

The AQARÁ reposado is like a melding of a reposado tequila and a light bourbon. The oak notes are there without being overwhelming but the predominant flavors are all those classic caramel and vanilla flavor sets. It is the same blend as the plateado but aged four months in American oak barrels. For more about AQARÁ read my profile.
