A limited-edition reposado expression from the tequila company Espanita has launched a new offering under the ‘Barrel Reserve Collection.’ Espanita 'Double Barrel Reposado Tequila,' made entirely from Blue Weber agave, was first aged in American white oak barrels before finishing in Kentucky bourbon barrels. The reposado offers roasted agave, cherry cola, spiced nuts, and candied ginger flavors, while it offers hints of orange zest, apricot chutney, toasted honey oak, Cherry Heering, and vanilla bean on the nose.
"We believe that it is innovation that is one of the main driving forces behind an incredible growth of Tequila popularity in the last years that made this iconic spirit a beverage of choice for American consumers. We shall continue our experimentation with creative barrelling and maturation approaches in hopes to bring more exciting flavour expressions to blue agave fans soon," said Marina Wilson, president and founder of Espanita Tequila.
