Luna Llena Reposado Tequila
Luna Llena Reposado Tequila takes the house's bold Amatitan blanco — 100% blue agave, slow-cooked, naturally fermented with open-air yeasts and double distilled — and rests it in American oak barrels until agave and wood reach the balance the Luna Llena ("full moon") team at ORfarms is after. The result bridges bright agave character with warm barrel depth at 80 proof. Find it in Del Mesa Liquor's tequila collection, available to order online.

The Story
In Amatitan, Jalisco, ORfarms makes Luna Llena the patient way: agave cooked low and slow, fermentation driven by open-air yeasts, and a careful double distillation. For the Reposado, that spirit goes into American oak barrels for a measured rest — long enough for the wood to round the edges and layer in warmth, short enough that the vibrant blue agave still leads. The black label with its gold full moon marks the middle of the range: more depth than the Luna Llena Blanco Tequila, a step lighter than the long-aged Luna Llena Anejo Tequila.
Tasting Notes
The brand's own notes lead with vanilla and toasted oak over the cooked-agave core, with a touch of warm spice on the finish. Smooth and nuanced, it keeps the agave front and center while the barrel adds a gentle, rounded sweetness.
How to Enjoy
This is a reposado built first for sipping — neat or with one large cube. It also upgrades premium cocktails that benefit from a little oak: an anejo-style old fashioned build, a reposado margarita, or a tequila Manhattan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Luna Llena Reposado aged?
It rests in American oak barrels until the distillers judge the balance right — reposado tequilas by law rest between two months and one year. Luna Llena does not publish an exact month count.
Is Luna Llena Reposado 100% agave?
Yes. It starts from the same 100% blue agave spirit as the Blanco, so the barrel rest is the only difference between the two.
Should I sip it or mix it?
Both work. The vanilla and toasted oak make it a satisfying neat pour, and the agave backbone stands up in premium cocktails.
For a reposado that respects the agave as much as the barrel, Luna Llena Reposado is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
