We just can’t stop sipping on this delicious, small batch reposado with notes of cooked agave, vanilla, and butter.
One of the newer brands on the market that caught our attention was Tequila Alquimia, an organic tequila made in the highlands of Jalisco. I distinctly remember Grover pulling me aside at the Monterey Tequila & Mezcal Expo and saying, “You need to try the
A very good all around reposado that has some very nice features that distinguish it from the every day tequila.
Nose: Agave is present right from the start, followed by oak and a vinous note that adds depth. Orange peel and caramel bring warmth, with cranberry brightness and soft vanilla behind them. Coffee and barrel spice sit in the background, giving the nose shape without feeling heavy. Palate & Mouthfeel: Thin but oily in texture, with agave leading the entry before oak settles in. Vanilla, coffee, and cocoa follow, while orange adds some lift. Barrel spice and black pepper build toward the back, giving it a firm, slightly drying edge. Finish: Creamy and oaky on the exit, with lingering barrel spice. There’s a brief spiced cream soda impression before it fades. Final Thoughts: I enjoy this one, even though it leans more into oak than I usually prefer in a reposado. The quality is there, the flavors are cohesive, and it offers solid value.
