Reposado is a type of tequila that is aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of two months and up to one year. The aging process gives reposado its distinct flavor profile, which is smoother and more complex than unaged tequila, known as blanco.
The name "reposado" means "rested" in Spanish, reflecting the time it spends maturing. This aging allows the tequila to absorb flavors from the wood, resulting in notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. Reposado is often enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, making it a versatile choice for tequila lovers.
