Nine Months, Three Toasts, One Black Bottle
Most reposados rest in a single toast level; Armero's Luxury Reposado spends nine months across American oak barrels of light, medium, and intense toast — a deliberate layering that builds vanilla and caramel from the lighter wood and spice and structure from the heavier char. The spirit comes from Hacienda Capellania (NOM 1545) in the highlands, where Daniel Bouquet De Grau works with 6- and 7-year-old Blue Weber agave, slow-cooked and long-fermented. Then there's the bottle: black armor, gold crest, 'THE LUXURY' at the neck — unmistakable on any shelf. Shop our reposado tequilas, browse the Armero range, or explore more highland tequilas.
Tasting Notes
The triple-toast rest shows: vanilla and butterscotch from the lighter oak, cinnamon and clove from the medium, and a firm toasted-oak backbone from the intense toast — all over a core of cooked highland agave, citrus, and white pepper. Balanced and sippable, with a warm, spiced finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita — nine months of careful oak deserves the spotlight. It also elevates an añejo-style old fashioned or a reposado Manhattan for drinkers who like their agave with oak.
