88 Reposado Tequila
88 Reposado Tequila is a 750mL reposado bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% blue agave in Mexico and rested in oak barrels within the reposado range — between two months and one year, as the class defines — by 88 Spirits Corporation's Tequila 88 range. The brand describes a subtle gold pour where wood meets cooked agave: butter, pecan and almond with vanilla through the palate and a slight spice finish. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Rested Middle of Tequila 88
Between the blanco's bright agave and the anejo's deep oak, the 88 Reposado takes the middle road: a rest in oak — white oak, per the manufacturer's notes for the aged 88 expressions — just long enough to turn the spirit subtle gold and lay vanilla and nut over the cooked agave without burying it. It is the balancing expression of 88 Spirits Corporation's 100% blue agave range, built in Mexico for the California importer's Blanco-to-Anejo line-up. See the full range on the 88 Tequila vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's notes: a wood aroma blended with cooked agave; a palate of butter, pecan and almond with vanilla; a slight spice finish; and a subtle gold colour from the rest in oak.
How to Enjoy
A reposado Margarita is the classic home, and the nut-and-vanilla palate holds up neat for agave-first drinkers. More reposados are in our tequila collection and across our spirits collection.
