An Agave Family's Own Label
Casa Don Nacho is the label of Don Ignacio Hernández Gutiérrez and his family — longtime agave farmers in the Los Altos highlands who established their own tequila house in 2003 and run the process end to end, from their own fields to the bottle. The agave for this reposado is estate-grown highland Weber, cooked in stone and brick ovens, milled, fermented in stainless steel without fibres and distilled twice in stainless pot stills; deep-well water is the distillery's stated source. Ten months in new American white oak — near the top of the reposado category's legal range, which runs from two months to under a year — gives the Extra Premium its gold colour and its oak frame.

Tasting Notes
Per published brand descriptions: a fruity nose with medium oak and light cooked agave; a sweet, fruity palate with citrus; and a long finish returning to medium oak and vanilla — highland fruit first, the new-oak frame close behind.
How to Enjoy
Ten months in new oak makes this a reposado that pours like a sipper: neat or over one large cube. It also brings enough barrel character for a Reposado Old Fashioned or a high-end Margarita. More rested agave is in our tequila collection.
