Two Regions of Agave, One Reposado

El Jefe draws its Blue Weber agave from both the Highlands and the Lowlands of Jalisco — the former known for sweeter, fruitier agave, the latter for more herbaceous, mineral character. The piñas are cooked in a mix of autoclave and traditional brick ovens, fermented in stainless steel, twice distilled, and then rested in American oak PIPÓN barrels before charcoal filtration. The result is a reposado with oak polish but the agave still audible.

Tasting Notes

Cooked agave and honey up front with light vanilla and toast from the oak rest; the Highland fruit and Lowland herbaceousness meet in the middle. The charcoal filtration keeps the finish clean and crisp.

How to Enjoy

Neat or over ice for the full reposado character, or as the base of a reposado margarita — the oak notes add depth a blanco can't. It also stands up in a Paloma.
