Production takes place at La Rojeña Distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco — one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in Latin America, founded in 1758. Hand-selected blue agave hearts are slowly roasted in traditional stone ovens for up to 40 hours, then double-distilled in copper pot stills. What distinguishes the Reposado Cristalino is its finishing regimen: after initial aging in Eastern European oak barrels, the liquid moves into first-fill California Cabernet Sauvignon casks sourced from Napa Valley, adding a layer of tannic depth and fruit character. A slow-filtration process then strips away barrel color while preserving the complexity built during maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooked agave and ripened stone fruit open the nose, followed by delicate oak, marzipan, and roasted hazelnut.

The reposado rests for months in new American and French oak barrels before being blended with Extra Añejo tequila that has been matured in brandy barrels, a production decision that lends a distinctive brandy-laced sweetness and layered complexity rarely found in standard reposados.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla and caramel open the nose with a honeyed sweetness, followed by subtle oak and fresh-cut herbs.
