A Golden Reposado With a Winemaker's Rest
Derechito's reposado shows the founder's Spanish-wine background in its patience: an oak rest that keeps the agave honest — a complex but never overwhelming nose, honeycomb and malt leading into vanilla and soft oak warmth, raspberry and cherry hiding in the background, cinnamon arriving late and a long-lasting finish. Reviewers note a very light golden sheen that drinks sweeter and deeper than it looks. It is the line's best all-rounder: compare with other reposado tequilas, browse the tequila collection, or meet Derechito.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Complex but not overwhelming — honeyed with vanilla and soft oak. Palate: Honeycomb and malt, vanilla leading into soft oak warmth; raspberry, cherry, cinnamon later. Finish: Long-lasting, sweet, warm.
How to Enjoy
