A Distillery Crew's Own Reposado
Bestia started as an inside job — friends working at Destilería 501 deciding the tequila they drank after hours deserved a bottle of its own. The reposado is the friendly face of the lineup: four months in American white oak softens the blanco's edges into caramel and vanilla without burying the roasted-agave core. It sits comfortably among our reposado tequilas, or browse everything from Bestia.

How to Enjoy
Built with mixing in mind — pour it in a margarita or paloma where the caramel notes carry through. Equally at home neat for an easy-drinking reposado.
