Don Cayo Reposado Tequila
Don Cayo Reposado Tequila rests 8 months in oak barrels — long enough for the wood to gild the spirit golden and round its edges: 100% blue Weber agave at 40% ABV in a 750mL bottle, distilled at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro in El Arenal, Jalisco (NOM 1649). Light herbal notes and intense agave harmonize with the wood for a smooth, golden reposado. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Eight Months to Gold
The reposado is where Don Cayo's Valley agave meets oak. Eight months in wood barrels caress the distillate into a golden spirit — the brand's own notes describe "light notes of herbs" over the agave, with the wood complementing rather than covering it. The result is a reposado tequila built for sipping as much as mixing.
Tasting Notes
Golden in the glass. Light herbal notes and sweet toasted agave on the nose, with vanilla and soft oak. The palate is smooth and balanced — intense agave flavor with herbal nuances and a gentle woody warmth — finishing clean and golden.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks to catch the oak-agave balance, or as an upgrade in any cocktail that calls for reposado — a reposado old fashioned or a golden margarita. It also pairs well with grilled meats and Mexican dishes.
