Cutwater Spirits recently expanded its collection of premium beverages with the introduction of the new Rayador Tequila Reposado. Brewed with 100% blue agave harvested from Jalisco, the ingredient is then slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, open-fermented, and double-distilled in traditional “alambique” stills made of stainless and copper in Tequila. The beverage is then aged in Cutwater whiskey barrels, to allow the rich cooked agave flavor to meld with notes of vanilla and oak — creating this distinctly Cutwater Tequila Reposado.
The Rayador Tequila Reposado has already won several awards for its distinctive flavor profile including the BEST OF CLASS and DOUBLE GOLD at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the BEST OF SHOW - FIRST PLACE at the 2020 Denver International Spirits Competition, among others.
