Raygoza Origen Reposado Tequila
Raygoza Origen Reposado is where the Origen line's two signatures meet: agave cooked in a wood-fired oven, then rested six months in American oak ex-bourbon barrels. Fire first, then oak — a 100% agave reposado tequila with more layers than most bottles at twice the price, made by Compañía Tequilera Don Cayo (NOM 1649) in El Arenal, Jalisco.

Fire, Then Oak
The Origen line begins with the horno de leña — a wood-fired oven that cooks the agave the traditional way and leaves a whisper of smoke in the spirit. Six months in ex-bourbon American oak then wraps that smoky, cooked-agave core in the barrel's sweeter register. It is the fullest expression of Raygoza's tequila making, and the flagship of this four-bottle range.
Tasting Notes
Cooked agave and the line's gentle smoke lead, answered by caramel and vanilla from the cask. Cacao, cinnamon and warm spice build through the palate, and the finish holds the caramel and smoke together in a long, even fade.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat and give it a minute — this is a reposado built for slow sipping, equally at home after dinner or beside the fire that inspired it. Whiskey drinkers should try it in an old fashioned; gifters should know it anchors a gift set beautifully next to its Origen Blanco sibling.
