Zircon Azul Reposado Tequila

Awarded the Silver Medal at The Polished Palate’s Spirit of Mexico 2011 Tasting Competition, Tequila Zircón Azul Reposado is made from select hand-harvested Agave plants grown naturally with family pride in Arandas, Jalisco. This 100% Agave Reposado is hand-poured into once used white oak whiskey barrels for a minimum of 8 – 12 months (2 – 6 months is typical of most Reposados). As a result of the aging process, the tequila takes on an amber hue and is then poured by hand in a unique artisan blue glass bottle.

The nose has a strong near dry cut grassiness, vanilla, lite honey, chalky minerality, slightly perfumy, white and chili pepper, and hints of pine and thyme. The flavors are a robust amount of black pepper, strong agave, slight honey, vanilla, oak barrel aging effect, and a floral note of perfume.

The finish is bold and gratifying, with long flavors and a harmonious overall balance. Zircón’s Reposado is at its best as a sipping tequila or paired with an orange wedge and cinnamon.
