El Tequileno Reposado Tequila
El Tequileno Reposado Tequila is the locals' reposado from the town of Tequila itself — a 100% blue Weber agave tequila rested three months in American oak, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 750mL bottle. Made at the brand's own distillery (NOM 1108) under third-generation master distiller Antonio "Tony" Salles from estate-grown highland agave, with mineral-rich spring water from El Volcán de Tequila and no additives — kosher-certified, additive-free, and one of the most awarded reposados in its class. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Reposado the Locals Drink
El Tequileño has been the tequila of choice in its home town for over six decades, long before it reached US shelves — and the Reposado is the house calling card: three months in oak gives it vanilla and caramel structure while the highland agave keeps its cooked-agave soul intact. It drinks like a tequila made by people who drink it every day. See more from El Tequileño or browse reposado tequila.
Tasting Notes
Cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, honey, and light oak with cocoa, leather, and a hint of black pepper; dry, pillowy finish of agave, vanilla, and spice (per retailer and expert consensus).
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the balance, on the rocks, or in a Mexican Old Fashioned — its built-in oak structure loves whiskey-style serves.
