Asombroso 'Eros' Reposado Tequila
Asombroso 'Eros' Reposado Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) ultra-premium reposado rested 9 months in French oak "11-Year-Vintage" barrels whose staves are first coated with the caramelized sweetness of slow-cooked agave — a proprietary barrel treatment the distillery rolls gently to coax out natural oak and agave flavor. Estate-grown piñas from the volcanic soils of Jalisco's Tequila Valley, stone/brick-oven cooked, roller-mill extracted, champagne-yeast fermented, twice distilled — and verified no additives. Housed in a ceramic decanter. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Nine Months in Agave-Caramelized French Oak
Eros is where Asombroso's patience shows. Rather than dropping blanco into plain barrels, the family-owned distillery seasons its French oak with the caramelized sweetness of cooked agave first, then rests the reposado for 9 months — longer than many rivals — gently rolling the barrels to deepen the exchange. The payoff is a light-amber sipper of uncommon sweetness and depth: freshly cooked agave, sweet vanilla, honey, oak, heavy honey on the palate and an exotic-spice finish from master distiller Ricardo Gamarra's hand.

Tasting Notes
Nose: freshly cooked agave, sweet vanilla, honey and oak. Palate: agave and wood oak up front, heavy honey, smooth and sweet with exotic spice. Finish: long and smooth — French oak, true agave sweetness and spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks — the 9-month profile rewards sipping. It also elevates cocktails that need a honeyed, oak-kissed tequila.
