Seven Months in Ex-Whiskey Oak
Most reposados rest two to eleven months, and Suerte uses the full middle of that range: seven months in charred white American oak whiskey barrels gives the highland agave a pronounced butterscotch-and-oak profile while keeping the cooked-agave character intact. The brand's own one-sheeter describes "a perfect balance of oak, pure agave, subtle plum and butterscotch notes."

Tasting Notes
Retailer consensus (labeled as such): barrel-forward — butterscotch, vanilla, and oak up front, with black pepper and citrus underneath and the highland agave still present through the finish. A natural base for an Old Fashioned or a rich reposado margarita.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a large cube to meet the oak rest head-on; it also builds a serious reposado old fashioned. For cocktails, pair it with agave syrup and bitters rather than burying the barrel character under juice.
