Slow Sun, Nine Months of Oak
Solento — from the Spanish for "slow sun" — was founded in 2019 by filmmaker and surfer Taylor Steele with the Montes family, who have produced tequila for three generations. The estate's jimadors remove the bitter agave stem by hand, and the Reposado rests a deliberate nine months in American oak, well inside the reposado window, until caramel and citrus come into balance.

Tasting Notes
From the producer: caramel, mandarin and ginger-lemon tea on the aroma; homemade caramel, brioche and cooked agave on the palate, bright and buttery in body; a finish of honey and pink peppercorn.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over one large cube to let the oak speak, or in a Reposado Old Fashioned where the caramel and brioche notes carry the drink.
