Terralta Reposado Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | NOM 1579 | 100% Blue Weber agave, highlands of Jesús María, Los Altos, Jalisco | Rested in American oak | Additive-free — Terralta Reposado is Felipe Camarena's highland reposado: 100% Blue Weber agave distilled at Destilería El Pandillo (NOM 1579) — stone ovens, tahona crush, copper pot stills, iron-rich deep-well water — then rested in American oak barrels, verified additive-free by Tequila Matchmaker. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Terralta is the Camarena family's 2011 highland project, named for the "high land" of Los Altos. The reposado takes the same mineral-driven blanco and rounds it with oak rest — a reposado for drinkers who want agave character first, barrel second. Among reposados, Camarena's additive-free, tahona-crushed approach keeps the agave loud.
