Batanga Reposado Tequila is a masterclass in traditional Jalisco craftsmanship, crafted at the historic Casa Orendain distillery (NOM 1137) in the heart of Tequila Valley. This reposado honors time-honored methods, using 100% blue Weber agave that is slow-cooked in masonry ovens and naturally fermented with agave fibers, without any industrial shortcuts or additives.
Rested for several months in used American oak bourbon barrels, Batanga Reposado develops a delicate golden hue and a refined balance of flavors. The aging process softens the sharper edges of the blanco tequila while preserving the pure essence of the agave plant. The result is a clean, balanced spirit with subtle oak influence that adds depth without overpowering.
On the nose, expect inviting aromas of roasted agave, light vanilla, toasted oak, and soft citrus peel. The palate offers a harmonious blend of sweet cooked agave, honey, a hint of pepper, and oak spice, complemented by a slightly oily texture that lends a satisfying presence. The finish is clean and dry, with lingering notes of pepper and bitter orange that enhance its complexity.
Batanga Reposado is an award-winning tequila, having earned Best in Show (Aged White Spirit), Best in Class, and Double Gold at the 2019 New York World Wine & Spirits Competition. Its versatility shines whether enjoyed neat or in cocktails, particularly in a classic Tommy's Margarita or a reposado Old Fashioned, where the wood notes harmonize beautifully with fresh citrus and spice.
This tequila embodies honest, additive-free production and delivers a quietly excellent experience without hype. It's a rock-solid choice for those seeking an authentic reposado that respects tradition while offering refined flavor and approachable complexity.
