1921 Tequila Reposado
1921 Tequila Reposado is a 750mL tequila bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown on the brand's estate in the red soils of the Highlands of Jalisco and aged 4 to 6 months in American white oak barrels — just long enough to soften its character while leaving the inherent quality of the agave unaffected. Double distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils after a 72-hour slow-cook cycle, each bottle is wax-sealed by hand and finished with a hand-painted clay medallion. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Rested Just Long Enough in Los Altos
Casa 1921 was born in 1996, created by a group of tequila aficionados, and named for 1921 — the concluding year of the Mexican Revolution. The brand tells of a hidden cellar found during the renovation of Hacienda La Colorada, holding bottles of exceptional tequila hidden for some six decades; the bottle's hand-painted clay medallion commemorates that find. The Reposado is the range's balancing act: estate Highlands agave, a 72-hour slow cook (24 hours cooking, 24 resting, 24 cooling), double distillation, then a short rest in American white oak that rounds the spirit without burying the agave.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: golden honey colour with bright transparency and elegant tears; the nose is sweet and gentle, with a plum aroma from the rest in delicately charred wood and a caramel bouquet from the toasted oak; the palate is smooth and fruity with moderate sweetness — floral notes, vanilla, spicy agave and citrus — and the finish is delicate white oak with a subtle toasted hazelnut note and a long-lasting fruit aftertaste.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single cube to show the plum and hazelnut, or in a reposado margarita where the oak can stand up to the citrus. More reposados are in our spirits collection.
