Volans Reposado Tequila is a 100% blue Weber agave reposado from the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% alcohol. The agave is grown at about 6,800 feet, and the tequila is additive-free.
It rests for under a year in used American white-oak bourbon barrels, enough to add vanilla and spice while keeping the agave in front.
Expect cooked agave, pear and caramel with vanilla, cinnamon, clove and a mineral note. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, finishing with black pepper and a touch of coffee. Agave Matchmaker reviewer Robert Frost gives it 92 points.
Highland agave tends to be sweeter and fruitier than lowland agave, so this is a good reposado for anyone who finds others too woody.
Sip it neat at room temperature to get the most from the highland fruit, or use it in a Paloma or a reposado Old Fashioned.
