Eight Months in Oak, Gold at the Bartender Spirits Awards
Reposado means "rested," and Embajador rests this one properly: eight months in oak gives the highland agave a frame of maple, vanilla and caramel without burying it the way a full anejo aging can. The competition record backs the bottle — a Gold Medal and 94 points at the 2020 Bartender Spirits Awards, and a Bronze at the 2017 Global Spirits Awards. It comes from the same family distillery in Atotonilco El Alto as the rest of the range. Line it up against the unaged Embajador Platinum Blanco and the flagship Supreme Anejo on the Embajador vendor page, or explore more tequila.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Sweet cooked agave with delicate herbs and fruit — cherry, banana, lime and grapefruit in the brand's own notes. Palate: Silky and full-bodied: maple, vanilla and caramel with a slight coffee tone. Finish: Sweet, intense and lasting.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over one large cube, this reposado shows its barrel work honestly. In cocktails it is the right call for a reposado Margarita or a Paloma where the agave still needs to lead.
