Lion Head Reposado Tequila
Lion Head Reposado Tequila is the middle of the Lion Head line — 100% blue agave rested in oak barrels, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750mL bottle. Reposado means "rested": two months to a year in oak gives this tequila its golden color and the smoother, more complex character that sits between the bright blanco and the deep añejo — caramel and vanilla easing into the brand's earthy agave core. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Balanced Middle Ground
Reposados are where agave and oak meet in conversation rather than debate, and Lion Head's sits squarely in that sweet spot: the brand's bold, earthy blanco softened by its rest in oak into something golden, velvety, and versatile. It sips beautifully on its own and cocktails with unusual depth — the one bottle that does everything. Shop more reposado tequilas or browse everything from Lion Head at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Golden straw; vanilla and caramel on the nose over roasted agave and a whisper of oak. The palate is velvety — honeyed agave, baking spice, light citrus — with a smooth, warming finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks for sipping; a standout base for an añejo-style old fashioned or a richer margarita.
