Agavales Reposado Tequila
Agavales Reposado Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof), 750mL reposado from Tequila, Jalisco — 100% Blue Agave, double distilled at Casa Maestri (NOM 1438) and rested in oak barrels (retailers report a minimum of six months in bourbon oak) until the agave wears a full-bodied coat of caramel and cinnamon. This is the brand's Premium Reposado, and its official tasting card is unabashedly dessert-leaning. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Premium Range, Rested
Same Casa Maestri blanco as the Plata, given a rest in oak: that is the whole recipe, and the brand's own notes show what the barrels do — the nose turns to tres leches, caramel and pineapple fruit cake, the palate to candy apple and caramelized apricots with cinnamon over fresh-baked agave. Agavales built its name as the 100%-agave alternative at mixto prices, a restaurant-rail favourite in Texas; the Premium Reposado is the bottle that shows the range can also sit at the sipping end of the shelf. Compare it with the unaged Agavales Plata on the Agavales vendor page, or explore more tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Tres leches, caramel and pineapple fruit cake (brand's official notes). Palate: Candy apple, caramelized apricots, cinnamon and fresh baked agave, full-bodied. Finish: Long, creamy and warm.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a large cube — the caramelized-fruit profile is the point. It also makes a rich reposado Margarita and stands up to sangrita service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Agavales Reposado rested? Retailers consistently report a minimum of six months in bourbon oak barrels; the brand's official site does not publish a rest period, so we attribute the figure rather than state it as a distillery spec.
Is it 100% agave? Yes — the brand confirms the Premium range (Plata, Reposado, Añejo) is 100% Blue Agave from Casa Maestri, NOM 1438.
How does it differ from the Plata? Time in oak: the Plata is floral and creamy-fresh; the Reposado trades that brightness for caramel, candy apple and cinnamon depth.
