Its reposado is aged for six months in three different barrel types: French oak, and two American oak barrels treated with a different char.

Other tequilas – especially pure versions, made with 100% agave – can be enjoyed in a short glass with ice. This reposado (meaning ‘rested’ for between two and 12 months) is made from 100% blue agave by one of the true godfathers of tequila production, Carlos Camarena.
