Process & Profile
El Tesoro Reposado is meticulously crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, using 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave harvested at peak maturity. The agave is cooked in traditional stone ovens and crushed using a tahona (a large stone wheel), ensuring the purest extraction of agave juice. Double-distilled in copper pot stills, the tequila is aged for nine to eleven months in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. This process produces a spirit with a perfect balance of vibrant agave character and the nuanced depth imparted by the wood.
