A Reposado from Tequila's Other Side of the Mountains
Most tequila comes from Jalisco, but the Denomination of Origin also covers parts of Michoacan — and Hacienda Sahuayo is its standard-bearer there, a family tequila house in the town of Sahuayo whose NOM 1511 distillery cooks agave in high-pressure autoclaves, extracts with a roller mill and double distils in stainless-steel pot stills. The Reposado rests in oak until the raw agave softens into caramel and spice without losing its cooked-agave core.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Cooked agave with milk caramel and orange citrus. Palate: Vanilla, caramel and a touch of coconut from the oak rest, with delicate black pepper and cumin spice. Finish: Light fruit and wood tones over warm spice.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over a single cube to follow the agave-to-caramel arc, or use it in a reposado margarita where its spice notes stand up to fresh lime.
