93 Points - “Tapatio’s new expression has intriguingly savory, almost meaty flavors that seem a shame to hide beneath fruit juices”. – Wine Enthusiast
“This is a fine example of a reposado…It’s very subtle and easy to sip, without being over-oaked”. – distiller.com
With the rising popularity of Tapatio Blanco, we introduced the Reposado to the collection in 2013, to give our fans more ways to enjoy this cult favorite. It has a smooth and rich flavor that can be easily enjoyed on its own or as a fantastic base for a cocktail.
To make our Reposado, Agave Pina's are harvested by Jimadores, slowly baked for 4 days, then crushed to extract the Mosto. Fermented by an 80-year old yeast culture, double-distilled in Tequilano Pot Stills, aged 8 months in used Jim Beam American oak barrels then barely filtered and bottled. Only required to be aged for 2 months, we age for 8 months in used bourbon barrels, which draws out notes of caramel, oak and smoke and ends with a smooth finish.
Don Felipe Camarena was born into a family that had distilled tequila since back in the early 1800’s. The family’s original distillery was destroyed and abandoned during the Mexican Revolution. Don Felipe began his career by growing and selling agave plants to other distillers. But since tequila making was in his blood, he started distilling his own tequila, selecting only the ripest plants and using equipment from his family’s original distillery.
In 1937 Don Felipe opened La Alteña distillery in the mountainous region of Jalisco, Mexico, known for producing the best blue agave. His passion for doing things just right inspired his family to continue handcrafting Tapatio so it could be enjoyed by future generations.
Don Felipe passed the business to his son, Felipe J. Camarena Orozco, who in turn passed it on to his daughters, Lilianna and Gabriela, and to his son, Carlos, who today, as Master Distiller, maintains the standards of excellence set down by his grandfather, Don Felipe.
