Laneta Tequila Reposado, produced at Casa Maestriin Jalisco, Mexico, uses 100% blue weber agave sourced from Los Altos and Tequila Valley. The agave cooks in brick ovens and high-pressure autoclaves, then is extracted with a roller mill. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using deep well water. The tequila is double distilled in stainless steel pot stills and aged in American white oak barrels. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
It’s sweet, tacky, and that peppery finish of the blanco is there, just slightly subdued by the overwhelming dessert notes. If not as refined, it’s a tequila in the vein of Clase Azul, an objet d’art containing liquid intended to appeal to your average whiskey drinker.
