El Cristiano Reposado Tequila
El Cristiano Reposado Tequila is a true Highland tequila from Casa Tequilera de Arandas (NOM 1499) in Los Altos, Jalisco — made from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested at around six years of age and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) with zero additives, no sugar, no flavor, no color added. The blanco is rested six months in American oak casks, picking up a pale golden-amber hue and a layered sweetness while staying agave-forward. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

From the Town of Arandas
The "1761" on the bottle marks the year Arandas was founded — and the brand gives back through Fundación El Cristiano, funding an orphanage, public schools and a children's soccer club in the town. The tequila itself is built with third-generation tequilero know-how: mature Highland agave, autoclave cooking, roller-mill extraction, stainless-steel fermentation with fibers removed, then double distillation in stainless pot stills with copper coils. The reposado earned Double Gold at the inaugural TAG Global Spirits Awards.

Tasting Notes
Pale golden amber with a silvery cast. On the nose: crème brûlée, dried tropical fruit, nougat, dried flowers and spice. The palate opens soft and satiny — sweet, fruity and medium to full-bodied with anise cookie, herb and grilled pepper accents, carried by six months of oak.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat or over a single large cube to catch the agave-to-oak balance. In cocktails, it brings depth to a reposado margarita or a tequila Old Fashioned.
