Riazul Tequila Reposado 100% de Agave 750ml

In the highlands of Jalisco, where the red clay soils and cooler temperatures of the Los Altos region produce some of Mexico’s most aromatic and expressive Blue Weber agave, Riazul has been quietly building a reputation for tequila of genuine refinement. The name — a nod to the azure color of the agave fields at sunrise — reflects the brand’s commitment to the raw material: 100% Blue Weber agave, grown to full maturity, harvested by hand, and treated with the care it deserves throughout production.

Introduced in 2009, the Reposado stands apart within its category by aging a full 9 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels — longer than most Reposados, and in a wood pairing that adds layers of complexity without masking the agave’s natural character. The result is a silky, medium-to-full-bodied spirit with a wonderful interplay of fruit, honey, and agave on the nose, and a palate that moves from peppery jalapeño spice through vanilla and white chocolate sweetness on a long, warming finish. A gold medal winner and a 91-point expression worth knowing.

91 points — Wine Enthusiast | “The enchanting aroma mixes fruit, honey and jalapeño pepper… tempered by vanilla and white-chocolate sweetness on the long finish… it still has finesse.”
