Frida Kahlo Reposado 750ML

Frida Kahlo Reposado 750ML is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco's highlands, bottled at 38% ABV (76 proof) in a 750ml bottle. What distinguishes this reposado is its extended roasting process — hand-selected agave cooked for at least 28 hours in antique adobe brick ovens, a traditional method that imparts deep caramelized character before the spirit rests in American oak for six to nine months.

Quick Facts: ABV: 38%  |  Origin: Jesus Maria, Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged 6-9 Months in American Oak  |  100% Blue Weber Agave

Production & Heritage

Produced in Jesus Maria — a town in the Los Altos (highlands) region of Jalisco known for yielding sweeter, more fruit-forward agave — this tequila begins with hand-selected blue Weber agave plants roasted in antique adobe brick ovens for a minimum of 28 hours. That extended roast, significantly longer than many contemporary operations, breaks down the agave's complex sugars slowly and thoroughly. After roasting, the agave is steamed, cooled, and crushed before fermentation. The resulting spirit is then aged six to nine months in American oak casks, producing a reposado with layered oak influence without overwhelming the agave's natural character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cooked agave leads the nose, followed by warm baking spices — cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove arrive in succession. Underneath, light oak and a subtle vegetal quality round out the bouquet.

Taste: The entry is soft and sweet, with honey and cooked agave dominating the front palate. At mid-palate, vanilla from the American oak casks emerges alongside a hint of bourbon-like warmth. A gentle white pepper spice builds toward the peak, balanced by lingering sweetness.

Finish: Medium in length with a pleasant warmth, the finish carries notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and toasted oak. A peppery spice lingers on the back palate, keeping the overall impression lively rather than heavy.

How to Drink Frida Kahlo Reposado

This reposado drinks well neat at room temperature, where the adobe-oven roasting character comes through most clearly; a single ice cube can soften the spice and draw out more honey sweetness. Its balanced profile also works well in cocktails. A Reposado Old Fashioned highlights the dark chocolate and cinnamon notes against agave syrup and mole bitters. A Paloma lets the cooked agave and pepper spice cut through grapefruit soda with real backbone. A Mexican Mule pairs the honey-forward profile with ginger beer and fresh lime for a sessionable serve.

Both are 100% agave reposados from Jalisco at similar price points, but Frida Kahlo leans into baking spice and dark chocolate from its extended adobe brick oven roast, while Herradura Reposado — aged roughly 11 months — tends toward a butterscotch and dried fruit profile with heavier oak presence from its longer maturation.

Where is Frida Kahlo Reposado made? It is produced in Jesus Maria, located in the highland (Los Altos) region of Jalisco, Mexico, an area prized for agave with higher sugar content due to the elevated terrain and red iron-rich soil.

What foods pair well with Frida Kahlo Reposado? Grilled carne asada benefits from the tequila's smoky oak and pepper; mole negro mirrors its cinnamon and dark chocolate finish; aged Manchego cheese complements the honey and vanilla notes; churros with chocolate sauce echo the sweet spice on the finish; and ceviche with mango provides a bright contrast to the warm, roasted agave character.

What sizes does Frida Kahlo Reposado come in? The standard release is the 750ml bottle, which is the most widely available format.

Is Frida Kahlo Reposado worth the price? It positions as an accessible premium reposado — the traditional adobe brick oven production and highland Jalisco sourcing deliver genuine craft character at a price point that competes well within the mid-range 100% agave category.

Why Frida Kahlo Reposado?

The defining feature here is the production method: a minimum 28-hour roast in antique adobe brick ovens, a labor-intensive approach that many distilleries have abandoned in favor of faster autoclaves. That extended roast creates deeper caramelization of the agave's natural sugars before the spirit ever touches oak. The six-to-nine-month American oak aging adds structure without masking the agave, resulting in a reposado that tastes distinctly of its highland origin. For drinkers seeking a traditionally produced tequila with real agave character — rather than an oak-driven spirit — this bottle delivers a genuine sense of place from the Los Altos region.
