Onda Reposado Tequila
Onda Reposado Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 100% Blue Weber agave reposado from NOM 1607 (Solave Group, Amatitan, Jalisco), rested in select American white oak barrels that deepen the roasted-agave character and give the spirit its golden hue, in a 750mL bottle. The brand's process starts with hand-cultivated agave azul, slow-cooked in steam ovens, milled, and double-distilled in copper pot stills — a modern craft tequila from Que Onda Beverage, the New York company co-founded by Shay Mitchell. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Shay Mitchell's Valley Tequila
Onda comes from Que Onda Beverage, the New York spirits company co-founded by actress Shay Mitchell — but the liquid is pure Jalisco lowlands: agave from El Valle, slow steam-oven cooking, and copper pot-still distillation at NOM 1607 in Amatitan. The reposado rests in American white oak long enough to pick up golden color and toasted character while keeping the roasted agave in the lead. It is positioned as a premium, additive-free-marketed craft tequila (the additive-free claim is the brand's own marketing; it is not independently certified — see Metadata).

Tasting Notes
The brand publishes no official tasting notes. Retailer descriptions converge on a consistent profile: rich roasted agave enhanced by the oak, with toasty oak, white pepper, and hints of caramel and vanilla from the barrel. Expect an agave-forward reposado where the wood seasons rather than dominates.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat to catch the roasted-agave character the oak frames. It is also a strong cocktail reposado — the agave presence holds up in a margarita or a reposado Old Fashioned where many softer reposados fade.
