Chaquira Beaded Jaguar Reposado
Chaquira Beaded Jaguar Reposado is a 750mL reposado bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% Blue Weber agave and rested in American white oak at NOM 1438, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, in Tequila, Jalisco — Agave Matchmaker's listing for the brand — for the reposado class span of at least two months and under one year. The jaguar-head bottle is hand-covered in chaquira beadwork in the Wixarika (Huichol) tradition, in green in retailer accounts, no two bottles alike. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Green Jaguar, Rested
Between the blanco and the anejo sits the reposado: the same NOM 1438 house make as the rest of the Chaquira set — brick-oven and autoclave cooking, roller-mill extraction, deep well water, stainless-steel fermentation, double distillation in a stainless pot — given a rest in American white oak long enough to lay vanilla and light spice over the cooked agave. The bottle is the brand's signature: a jaguar head covered bead by bead in Wixarika chaquira work, wax-and-resin set, which is why no two reposados on the shelf match. Treat it gently — the beads are adhered, not welded. See the set on the Chaquira vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Across retailer accounts, the overlapping core: cooked sweet agave and vanilla up front, light fruit through the middle, and oak, vanilla and gentle spice to a medium-long finish — a reposado in the balanced, agave-forward style.
How to Enjoy
Neat or in a reposado Margarita with the vanilla-and-oak register to play against the lime. More reposados are in our tequila collection and across our spirits collection.
