Gran Padre Tequila Reposado
Gran Padre Tequila Reposado is the sweet spot of the Gran Padre line — 40% ABV, 750mL, 100% blue Weber agave rested 8 months in American white oak. From Destilería 501 (NOM 1464) in El Arenal, Jalisco, the rest trades the blanco's bright herbal edge for silky vanilla, banana and toasted almond, with a light gold color and a finish of oak and maple. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Eight Months in White Oak
The reposado rests on the same traditional base as the Gran Padre blanco — century-old masonry oven, natural fermentation, double distillation, no additives — then spends eight months in American white oak, and the barrel leaves its fingerprints everywhere: intensive oak, vanilla and cinnamon on the nose with banana and almond tones, a soft, smooth palate with hints of vanilla and spiced undertones, and oak-and-maple on the finish. It is the line's most versatile bottle — compare it with other reposado tequilas and the broader tequila collection, or explore everything from Gran Padre.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Intensive oak, vanilla and cinnamon; banana fritters, toasted almonds, olive tapenade. Palate: Soft and smooth — vanilla with spiced undertones, silky and light gold. Finish: Oak and maple with spicy undertones.
How to Enjoy
Neat to taste the oak rest, or as the base of a reposado old fashioned — the vanilla-and-maple character takes to bitters and citrus beautifully.
