Casamigos Reposado 375ML

Casamigos Reposado 375ML is a 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila rested seven months in ex-whiskey barrels, bottled at 40% ABV. It earned 92 points from Wine Enthusiast, which highlighted its pleasing butterscotch and maple sugar character with a cinnamon-tinged finish.Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 proof)  |  Origin: Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged 7 Months (Reposado)  |  Distillery: Productos Finos de Agave (NOM 1416)Production & HeritageCasamigos was co-founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Mike Meldman, originally as a private label before its commercial launch in 2013. The brand was acquired by Diageo in 2017. Production takes place at Productos Finos de Agave (NOM 1416) in the Highlands of Jalisco, where agave piñas are roasted in traditional brick ovens for 72 hours. The defining production step is an extra-slow fermentation using proprietary yeast that extends roughly 80 hours — nearly double the industry standard — before the liquid rests for seven months in American ex-whiskey barrels. This extended fermentation is credited with producing the notably smooth, rounded profile that distinguishes the Reposado from more aggressive oak-forward expressions in the category.Tasting NotesAroma: Caramel and cocoa rise first, followed by a slight smoked char and peanut-shell quality. Underneath, vanilla maple and spiced barrel notes mingle with bright, lively agave.Taste: The entry is soft and sweet with caramel and butterscotch. At mid-palate, dried fruit and spicy oak develop alongside hints of tobacco and leather. A touch of sweet agave anchors the profile, keeping the barrel influence balanced rather than dominant.Finish: Medium to long, silky in texture, with a gradual build of peppery warmth and a lingering cinnamon tingle. Subtle bitter cocoa and oak close things out cleanly.How to Drink Casamigos ReposadoThe silky texture and balanced oak make this a natural sipper neat or over a single large ice cube, which opens up the caramel and dried-fruit notes without diluting them. It also works well in cocktails where you want the barrel character to come through:
Oaxaca Old Fashioned — the butterscotch and cocoa amplify the drink’s rich, bittersweet backbone.
Tequila Manhattan — seven months of barrel aging gives it the depth to stand alongside sweet vermouth and bitters.
Paloma — the spicy oak and caramel add complexity against bright grapefruit soda.
