Nine Months to Balance: The Pacheco 1988 Reposado Story
Nine months in white oak is the sweet spot for a reposado — long enough to soften and sweeten, short enough to keep the agave talking. Pacheco's rests a full three-quarters of a year, earning Bronze at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition along the way. It is the reposado tequila for drinkers who want oak as a frame, not the picture.
Tasting Notes
Earthy, cooked agave on the nose with a soft wood backdrop. The palate follows — cooked agave, gentle wood, orchard fruits — building to a finish the brand's tasters call unique and complex. Easygoing yet characterful, a tequila that works neat, on ice, or in a top-shelf Margarita.
How to Enjoy
The classic Margarita upgrade — nine months of oak adds roundness without overpowering lime and agave. Also excellent neat with a twist of orange. See the full range at the Pacheco vendor page.
