Production & Heritage

Casa Centinela has operated continuously since 1904, making it one of the longer-running distilleries in the Jalisco highlands. For this reposado, Blue Weber agave piñas sourced from a single highland estate are slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens — a method that preserves the natural sugars and produces a rounder cooked-agave character compared to modern autoclaves. The juice is then distilled in premium copper pot stills before resting for six months in American white oak barrels that previously held whiskey, layering vanilla and caramel tones onto the agave foundation without overwhelming it.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet cooked agave leads, followed by warm vanilla, caramel, and gentle oak. A subtle dried-fruit quality, reminiscent of apricot, emerges as the tequila opens up in the glass.

Taste: The entry is soft and honeyed, giving way to a rich mid-palate of butterscotch, toasted almonds, and well-integrated agave sweetness. At its peak, the oak influence adds a measured warmth without bitterness, keeping the agave front and center.

Finish: Notably long and elegant for a six-month reposado, with lingering baking spice and warm vanilla undertones. A light peppery note fades gradually, inviting another sip.

How to Drink Chicas Divertidas Reposado

Sipping neat at room temperature is the best way to appreciate the masonry-oven agave character and oak balance; a few drops of water can open up the dried-fruit nuances. This reposado also holds its own in cocktails where aged tequila shines.

• Oaxaca Old Fashioned — the butterscotch and vanilla notes pair seamlessly with mezcal and agave syrup.
• Tequila Manhattan — the oak aging and warm spice complement sweet vermouth without clashing.
• Reposado Paloma — the honey-rich body rounds out grapefruit's tartness for a more layered take on the classic.

Best For

• Introducing a tequila enthusiast to highland-style reposados
• Slow sipping after dinner as a dessert-course alternative

• Hosting a side-by-side tasting of highland versus lowland reposados

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Chicas Divertidas Reposado taste like? It leads with sweet cooked agave and honey, developing into butterscotch and toasted almonds before finishing with warm vanilla and baking spice. The overall profile is smooth, agave-forward, and moderately oaked.

How does Chicas Divertidas Reposado compare to Don Julio 1942? Don Julio 1942 is an añejo aged a minimum of two and a half years, resulting in deeper oak and caramel intensity, while Chicas Divertidas Reposado rests for only six months and retains more prominent cooked-agave character. Both are 100% Blue Weber agave expressions from Jalisco's highlands, but the six-month aging here keeps the spirit closer to its raw agave roots.

Is Chicas Divertidas Reposado good for sipping neat? Yes — the smooth entry, balanced oak, and long finish make it well-suited for neat sipping, especially for drinkers who want agave flavor supported by, rather than masked by, barrel influence.

Where is Chicas Divertidas Reposado made? It is produced at Casa Centinela (NOM 1140), located in the red volcanic highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This highland terroir, with its cooler temperatures and mineral-rich soil, produces agave plants that are naturally higher in sugar content.

What foods pair well with Chicas Divertidas Reposado? Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa complement the honey sweetness. Manchego or aged Oaxacan cheese echoes the butterscotch and almond notes. Dark chocolate with sea salt mirrors the vanilla and spice finish. Slow-roasted pork carnitas stand up to the oak without overwhelming the agave. Flan or crème brûlée aligns naturally with the caramel character.

What sizes does Chicas Divertidas Reposado come in? The standard widely available size is the 750ml bottle.

Is Chicas Divertidas Reposado worth the price? It positions as a premium reposado, drawing credibility from Casa Centinela's century-plus track record, traditional masonry-oven cooking, and copper-pot distillation — production hallmarks typically found in higher-priced expressions within the category.

Why Chicas Divertidas Reposado?

The combination of single-source highland agave and Casa Centinela's traditional masonry-oven process gives this reposado a cooked-agave depth that column-still or autoclave-driven competitors often lack. Six months in ex-whiskey American white oak strikes a deliberate balance: enough time to introduce vanilla, caramel, and toasted-almond complexity without burying the agave under heavy wood. Casa Centinela's NOM 1140 carries more than a century of distilling continuity in the Jalisco highlands, lending a production pedigree that underpins the liquid in the bottle. For drinkers seeking an agave-forward reposado with genuine barrel nuance and highland terroir character, this bottling delivers on its premise.
