Corazón de Agave's Single Barrel Reposado is an extraordinary marriage of two distinct spirits, aged exclusively in world-class E. H. Taylor Bourbon barrels. This unique expression showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of both the tequila producer and the esteemed bourbon distillery, resulting in a reposado tequila with unparalleled depth and character.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating fusion of sweet cooked agave, vanilla bean, and caramel, immediately signaling its tequila heritage. Underlying notes of toasted oak, baking spice – particularly cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg – emerge, undoubtedly influenced by its bourbon barrel aging. A subtle citrus zest and a touch of ripe pear add complexity.

Palate: The initial sip delivers a silky, medium-bodied texture. The palate opens with a delightful sweetness of butterscotch and vanilla, quickly followed by the earthy, peppery characteristics of high-quality agave. The E. H. Taylor barrel influence shines through with prominent notes of charred oak, dark chocolate, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. There’s a balanced interplay between the tequila's inherent brightness and the bourbon's richer, deeper tones, creating a unique and harmonious flavor profile.

Finish: A long, smooth, and evolving finish. The warmth of the agave lingers, complemented by a persistent sweetness of crème brûlée and a delicate, lingering spice. Hints of dried fruit and a soft, dry oakiness from the bourbon barrel provide a satisfying and memorable conclusion.
