Process & Profile

Tapatio Tequila Reposado is a classic highland reposado tequila produced at La Alteña Distillery, NOM 1139, in Arandas, Jalisco. The distillery was founded by Don Felipe Camarena Hernández in 1937, and Tapatio has long been respected by tequila drinkers for its traditional, agave-forward style.

Made from 100% blue agave, Tapatio Reposado is aged in ex-bourbon barrels, giving it gentle oak influence while keeping cooked agave at the center. The barrel resting adds vanilla, caramel, soft spice, and a slightly creamy texture without covering up the tequila’s fruit, pepper, and herbal character.

The profile is bright, balanced, and expressive, with intense cooked agave, apple, pear, vanilla, caramel, light smoke, white pepper, clove, sandalwood, and soft oak. For customers looking for an additive-free reposado tequila with true highland character, Tapatio Tequila Reposado is a strong choice for sipping, cocktails, and tequila tastings.
