Tapatio Tequila Blanco 110

SKU: BC 213160 / AB 815941
Case configuration: 12x750mL

Tapatio Blanco 110 is bottled at 55% ABV, the maximum allowed by law for tequila. It’s specially designed to be used in cocktails, as its intense aromas and flavors remain – not getting masked by the high alcohol. However, it is very gentle on the palate and can still be sipped and savored neat or on the rocks. It offers a bright crystal color with intense silvery tones, with so much body that the essential oils literally hang from the glass. Despite its alcoholic content, its aromas are well defined, with sweet and savoury peppers - roasted capsicum and non-spicy padrón. There is spiciness, but it comes from white pepper, the traditional agave hit, and is balanced by an underlying sweetness, which is almost white chocolate-like. Thick and oily on the palate, with a spicy kick to start – black pepper and chile. With that comes sweet, roasted agave, cinnamon toast (with singed edges) and a surprisingly rich grape and sultana fruitiness. On the finish, the peppers from the nose return, turning from sweet to dry. A big, rich and surprisingly complex spirit, especially considering that it is fresh from the still. The extra strength over the blanco allows the flavours to sing.

Tapatio Tequila Reposado

SKU: BC 175995 / AB 811759
Case configuration: 12x750mL

Tapatio Reposado starts with our epic blanco, and then we age 4-6 months in American white oak barrels, previously used in aging Bourbon. In appearance, a pale straw yellow color; luminous, with golden and slightly greenish tones. Medium body with nice legs. Aromas are fruity, intense cooked Agave, apple, pear, vanilla and caramel, slightly smoky. White pepper comes in a subtle form. Allowed to breath it becomes creamy with hints of butter. Spices such as clove and sandalwood. On the palate, the sweetness of the cooked Agave flavors predominate; herbal, pepper, slightly smoked with notes of caramel, cocoa, vanilla and nuts (walnut, peanut, hazelnut). A very soft & smooth, yet spicy finish. A very well balanced tequila between the spicy and the sweet flavors. Perfect for a Margarita cocktail, but also to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
