Pueblo Viejo Reposado Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Reposado: 9 months in American oak | NOM 1103, Los Altos, Jalisco — Pueblo Viejo Reposado is the flagship rested tequila from Casa San Matías — one of Mexico's oldest distilleries, family-run since 1886 — made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the Highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco.
Agave is slow-baked in traditional stone ovens for about 48 hours, roller-mill extracted, fermented open-air, and double-distilled before resting 9 months in American white oak (per the importer's sell sheet — a couple of retailers say 11 months; check the bottle). The result: moderated agave and citrus-blossom sweetness on the nose, cooked agave and green peppercorn on the palate with vanilla, cinnamon, and warm oak, and a long, toasty finish. From a distillery with one of only four biodigesters in Jalisco, a female master distiller, and a UN carbon-footprint award — a genuine old-house reposado at a workingman's price, available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Tasting notes
