Monte Alban Tequila Reposado
Monte Alban Tequila Reposado is a 40% ABV (80 proof) reposado tequila in a 750mL bottle — 100% Blue Weber agave rested three months in oak barrels, built on a dual-region agave blend from the lowlands of the Tequila Valley and the highlands of Los Altos de Jalisco, available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Two Regions of Agave, One Reposado
Most reposados at this price pull agave from one zone; Monte Alban blends both — the mineral-rich lowlands of the Tequila Valley and the iron-oxide soils of Los Altos — which gives the reposado a distinctive herbal-fruity character you would not expect at its tier. The agave is cooked within 36 hours of harvest to protect freshness, then double-distilled in traditional alembic stills with steam kept away from the liquid for a cleaner distillate before the three-month oak rest.

Tasting Notes
A peppery nose gives way to dried fruit and mild nuttiness with a subtle herbal thread. The entry is silky and smooth — Meyer lemon and green apple meet buttery biscuit and gentle cinnamon, with vanilla and a thread of mint developing — finishing medium in length, rich and smooth, with lingering black pepper, a faint echo of dried fruit, and light oak sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Solid neat or on the rocks, and an easy upgrade for a reposado margarita — the peppery, fruit-forward profile punches above its price in cocktails.
