Five Children, Eight Generations, Three Months of Oak
Tesoro Number 5 wears its family story in its name — each expression honors one of the master distiller's five children, backed by eight generations behind the still. The reposado keeps the production traditional: highland agave from Arandas, slow-cooked in brick ovens, wild-fermented with natural yeast, and double-distilled in pot stills before a short, careful rest in a split of used American oak and ex-bourbon barrels. The oak softens without masking the agave. Compare with the blanco in the Tesoro Tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Expect bright cooked agave up front, gently rounded by three months of oak — soft vanilla, light caramel, and a whisper of baking spice over an earthy, mineral agave core. Clean and balanced, built for sipping.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks to taste the Arandas agave; the gentle oak also makes it a refined reposado margarita or paloma.
