Espanita Reposado Tequila
Espanita Reposado Tequila is an 80 proof (40% ABV), 750mL reposado made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco (Los Altos) and aged six months in white American oak barrels. The brand was founded in 2017 by Marina Wilson — a spirits-industry veteran with 15+ years of experience — and is imported to the US by Double Eagle Imports. Bottles carry a jimador figure in a Day of the Dead, José Guadalupe Posada-inspired design, honoring the agave farmers at the heart of tequila.

A Highlands Reposado With a Founder's Conviction
Marina Wilson built Espanita around craft and story: highlands agave from an independent family-owned Jalisco distillery, traditional methods, and a bottle designed as a tribute to the jimador. Six months in white American oak softens the highland agave's brightness into a golden reposado — distributor tasting notes describe butter, vanilla, and jasmine tea on the nose, walnut, kola nut, sassafras, and roasted agave on the palate, and a long candied-banana-and-coconut-cream finish (presented as distributor-sourced, not brand copy).

Tasting Notes
Nose: Butter, vanilla, jasmine tea, ginger, and roasted agave (distributor-sourced).
Palate: Walnut, kola nut, sassafras, and tarragon over roasted agave.
Finish: Long — candied banana and coconut cream.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on ice for the full banana-and-oak finish. The balanced oak makes it a strong cocktail reposado: an añejo-margherita style drink, a reposado Paloma, or a Tequila Old Fashioned with demerara and bitters.
