Process & Profile
Siempre Tequila Rebel Cask Reposado represents the bold, unconventional spirit of modern tequila-making. This limited-release reposado is crafted in Tequila, Jalisco, using 100% Supremo Blue Weber Agave. The process begins with agave cooked in traditional stone/brick ovens, then tahona-crushed for maximum flavor extraction. Fermentation utilizes wild, open-air yeast (including fibers) and volcanic spring water, resulting in a complex, naturally developed profile. Double distillation refines the spirit before it is filled into barrels at still strength. What separates Rebel Cask Reposado from traditional tequilas is its aging: each unique batch rests 5–11 months in rare casks—including ex-bourbon, ex-maple syrup, and French dessert wine (notably Sauternes) barrels—imparting distinctive nuances to each release. The spirit is bottled at 42% ABV (84 proof), offering a richer, fuller body than typical 80 proof tequilas.
