As a reposado — meaning \"rested\" in Spanish — this expression bridges the bright agave character of a blanco with the oak-influenced warmth of longer-aged tequilas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: ~40%  |  Origin: Mexico  |  Category: Reposado Tequila  |  Size: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy Mexican regulation, all tequila must be distilled from blue Weber agave (\u003cem\u003eAgave tequilana\u003c\/em\u003e) within designated regions of Mexico, predominantly in the state of Jalisco and limited municipalities in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. Reposado tequila is required by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT) to rest in oak containers for a minimum of two months and no longer than twelve months. This oak maturation period softens the raw intensity of fresh agave distillate and introduces complementary notes of vanilla and spice. Specific distillery details and NOM identification number for Pistolera have not been independently confirmed at the time of writing.\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 Reposado tequilas in this style typically open with cooked agave and hints of caramel.
