Raygoza Artesanal Reposado Tequila
Raygoza Artesanal Reposado takes the house's fresh, agave-first blanco and rests it for six months in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a 100% agave reposado tequila with the agave still in the lead and the barrel in a supporting role — made by Compañía Tequilera Don Cayo (NOM 1649) in El Arenal, Jalisco.

The Artesanal Line, Rested
Six months is the sweet spot for a reposado like this one — long enough for the American oak to round the edges and add warmth, short enough that the spirit still tastes unmistakably of agave. Using ex-bourbon barrels ties the profile to the whiskey world, one reason this bottle converts bourbon drinkers so easily to the tequila shelf.
Tasting Notes
Cooked agave opens the glass, joined by toasted oak and warm spice, with the line's herbal freshness still showing through. The texture is silky, and a light bourbon echo from the casks lingers on the finish.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over one large cube to let the oak and agave trade places as it opens. It also builds a richer, rounder Margarita and an excellent tequila old fashioned — and it holds its own in our gift sets for anyone who drinks both whiskey and tequila.
