Four Months in Oak, Straight from the Estate
Corralejo does everything itself: the agave grows on the hacienda's high-altitude estate fields in mineral-rich volcanic soil, roasts slowly in traditional clay ovens, ferments with the house's own cultivated yeast and distils in copper pot and column stills imported from Tomelloso, Spain — then the bottles are blown in the estate glass factory and labelled by hand. The estate itself is the birthplace of Miguel Hidalgo (born 1753), father of Mexican independence, and one of the first haciendas in Mexico to sell tequila commercially. Four months in oak is a deliberate light touch for this reposado: enough for honey and spice, never enough to bury the agave. Explore the estate on the Corralejo vendor page, step up to the Corralejo Anejo for a full year's rest, or shop the tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Light straw. Nose: Sweet vanilla and honey with spice and a hint of oak. Palate: Lemon-lime and peppercorn over honey, oak and cooked agave. Finish: Smooth and warm, medium-bodied.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a single rock to taste the estate agave through the light oak — and a natural Margarita or Paloma reposado, where the peppercorn spice keeps the citrus honest.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the Triple Distilled Reposado? Distillation. This bottle is double distilled; the Triple Distilled Reposado takes a third pass (copper pot, column, copper pot) for a silkier texture. Both rest 4 months.
Where is it made? Hacienda Corralejo, Penjamo, Guanajuato (NOM 1368) — one of the few tequilas produced outside Jalisco.
