18 Years of Homework in Every Sip
Founder Rick Olivo spent 18 years studying agave, fermentation, distillation and terroir before Don Rico existed — a bad tequila experience kept him away from the spirit for two decades, and the comeback took the long way. The reposado shows the work: highland agave for sweetness and fruit, valley agave for spice and earth, a three-month whiskey-barrel rest for caramel and vanilla, and nothing else — no additives, three ingredients, agave water and yeast.

Tasting Notes
Nose: agave, vegetal, then floral. Palate: cooked agave filling the palate — caramel, vanilla, oak, white pepper, citrus. Finish: sweet, floral, natural and balanced.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat or over a large cube to catch the oak-agave balance; it also upgrades a margarita or a reposado old fashioned without overpowering the cocktail.
