Ayate Reposado Tequila 750ml

Aged eight months total, half in new oak barrels and half in Chardonnay barrels. Very unusual for a reposado: Green, agave-heavy notes are pungent on the nose, almost like a blanco at times, with lots of black pepper and motor oil character. A fresh wood note adds another element to the mix, not sweetness. On the palate, it’s again heavy with agave and notes of roasted vegetables. However, the vegetal components really dominate, lingering through to the pepper-heavy finish.
