Cambio Tequila Reposado
46% ABV (92 proof) | 750mL | NOM 1605 | 100% Blue Weber agave | 6 months: 1 month Burgundy/Bordeaux barrels + 5 months French oak Chardonnay casks | Additive-free — Cambio Tequila Reposado is a 92-proof additive-free reposado with a barrel regimen the brand calls unprecedented in tequila: one month in Burgundy and Bordeaux wine barrels, then five months in French oak Chardonnay casks. Founded by Chicago chef John Des Rosiers, Cambio makes traditionally crafted, high-proof tequila — 100% Blue Weber agave, NOM 1605, confirmed additive-free. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Most reposados rest in ex-bourbon barrels; Cambio's triple wine-cask finish is a deliberate break from the script, layering red-fruit and mineral wine character over honey-roasted agave. It earned 94 points from The Tasting Panel and Gold at the 2023 USA Spirits Ratings before it was even widely released. Among reposado tequilas, this is the one for drinkers who want barrel character without sweetness or additives.
