Grand Mayan Tequila Reposado

Grand Mayan Reposado Tequila

Grand Mayan Reposado is a rich, full-bodied tequila made from100% Blue Weber agave grown in Mexico’s Central Highlands. After distillation, the tequila spendssix months in ex-American whiskey casks, then receives an additionaltwo-month finish in ex-Cognac barrels, for a total ofeight months in wood. That secondary Cognac-cask maturation gives it more depth and polish than a typical reposado.

The profile is smooth and rounded, withsweet cooked agave, vanilla, oak and dark chocolate leading the way. The Cognac barrels add a softer, richer edge to the American-oak character, and the finish is long, layered and gently sweet rather than sharp or pepper-driven. 

Presentation is a major part of the appeal. Grand Mayan Reposado comes in ahandmade Talavera-style ceramic decanter, painted by Mexican artisans and finished withhand-applied 24K gold detailing, making it particularly strong as a gift bottle
