Volans Reposado Tequila
Volans Reposado Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) reposado from the highlands of Jalisco, rested 2–6 months in used American white oak ex-bourbon barrels — long enough to add complexity, short enough to keep the agave forward. The Volans profile comes from three separate blanco distillates — one each from rainwater, +450-foot deep-well water, and spring water — blended after distillation. Estate Blue Weber agave from the red soils of Jesús María, cooked ~22 hours in stone-and-brick ovens, crushed on a tahona, open-air fermented about six days with Felipe Camarena's proprietary yeast, double-distilled in copper pot stills, and aerated before bottling — all additive-free. Fruity and earthy agave aromas with oak, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and minerals; a rich, buttery palate of cooked agave, minerals, subtle oak, and caramel; a sweet, peppered finish.

Three Waters, One Reposado
Most reposados are a single distillate rested in oak. Volans starts with three — rainwater, deep-well water, and spring water each get their own blanco run — and blends them before the barrels ever enter the picture. The short rest then does exactly what a reposado rest should: round the edges without covering the highland agave's mineral, honeyed character. Explore Volans tequilas or browse reposado tequilas.

How to Enjoy
Neat or on a large cube — the buttery mouthfeel rewards slow sipping. Also a serious upgrade in a reposado-forward cocktail like a Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Volans Reposado aged? Rested 2–6 months in used American white oak ex-bourbon barrels — under a year, so the agave stays forward.
Why does Volans taste different from other reposados? Three separate blancos, each distilled with a different water source (rain, deep well, spring), are blended for the final profile.
