Five Months in New Oak, Straight From Los Altos Sur
New char white American oak is an assertive choice for a reposado — most rest in used barrels — and it shows: Carrera's reposado picks up abundant spice, caramel and mellow oak in just five months, while the highland agave of Arandas keeps the fruit bright underneath. This is the same reposado stock that becomes the Carrera Cristalino after filtration, so buying the bottle unfiltered is the connoisseur's move — the full reposado tequila experience from Tequila Carrera, oak and all.
Tasting Notes
Ripe agave and abundant spice on the nose with fruit and caramel. The palate is warm and rounded — mellow oak, vanilla, cooked agave sweetness — finishing smooth with lingering spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat to taste the new-oak influence in full, or over ice as a slow sipper. Stands up beautifully in an añejo-style old fashioned or a rich, spirit-forward margarita.
