Cincoro Reposado 750ML

Cincoro Reposado 750ML is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). This dual-region blend earned a Double Gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, distinguishing it among ultra-premium reposados with an aging period of 8–10 months — at least four times the legal minimum for the category.Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged 8–10 Months  |  Produced at Destiladora del Valle de TequilaProduction & HeritageCincoro was founded by a group of five NBA team owners, including Michael Jordan, with production handled by Destiladora del Valle de Tequila in Jalisco. What sets the Reposado apart begins in the field: agaves are sourced separately from both the Highlands (Los Altos) and Lowlands (El Valle) of Jalisco, then cooked, fermented, and distilled in small batches before being blended together. The piñas undergo a 35-hour slow cook in a 35-year-old traditional clay oven followed by 15 hours in an artisanal autoclave, then are crushed using a traditional stone tahona mill. After double distillation, the liquid rests for 8–10 months in an underground cellar, where stable, cool temperatures allow gradual barrel integration without aggressive wood influence.Tasting NotesAroma: Rich cooked agave leads, followed by warm vanilla, dried fruits, and a gentle layer of baking spices. The nose is inviting without being overly sweet, signaling depth from extended barrel rest.Taste: The palate opens with honeyed agave and butterscotch, building into toasted oak and light black pepper at mid-palate. White chocolate and vanilla emerge as the sip develops, balanced by enough spice to keep the sweetness in check. The dual-region blending is evident — Highland fruit sweetness and Lowland mineral earthiness coexist in clear proportion.Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering vanilla, gentle oak tannins, and a trace of white pepper warmth. The finish rewards patience, unfolding gradually rather than fading quickly.How to Drink Cincoro ReposadoSipping neat or over a single large ice cube best reveals the layered agave and barrel character. A few drops of water can open up the butterscotch and dried fruit notes further. For cocktails, Cincoro Reposado brings enough oak complexity and body to elevate classics:
Añejo Old Fashioned: The honey and vanilla backbone holds up beautifully against agave syrup and mole bitters.
Tequila Manhattan: Toasted oak and baking spice integrate seamlessly with sweet vermouth, creating a rich, sophisticated pour.
Paloma: The butterscotch sweetness and citrus-friendly agave core balance grapefruit soda without being overpowered.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Cincoro Reposado taste like? Cincoro Reposado delivers rich cooked agave and honey sweetness layered with butterscotch, vanilla, toasted oak, and a touch of black pepper. The finish is long, smooth, and gently spiced with lingering white chocolate.How does Cincoro Reposado compare to Herradura Legend Añejo? Both occupy the ultra-premium tequila tier, but Cincoro Reposado is aged 8–10 months as a reposado expression, while Herradura Legend carries an añejo designation with longer barrel time and heavier oak influence. Cincoro’s dual-region blending of Highland and Lowland agaves offers a broader agave spectrum, whereas Herradura Legend draws exclusively from the town of Amatitán in the Lowlands.Is Cincoro Reposado good for sipping neat? Yes — the extended 8–10 month aging and stone-milled agave produce a smooth, complex spirit specifically designed for neat consumption. Its balanced sweetness and moderate 40% ABV make it accessible without sacrificing depth.Where is Cincoro Reposado made? Cincoro Reposado is produced at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico. The agaves are sourced from both the Highland (Los Altos) and Lowland (El Valle) growing regions of Jalisco, then blended after separate distillation.What foods pair well with Cincoro Reposado? Grilled shrimp tacos complement the agave sweetness and oak spice. Dark chocolate truffles echo the white chocolate and vanilla notes. Aged Manchego cheese mirrors the butterscotch richness. Pork carnitas with salsa verde balance the honey sweetness with acidity. Cinnamon flan aligns with the baking spice and caramel tones.What sizes does Cincoro Reposado come in? Cincoro Reposado is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle, which is the primary format for this expression.Is Cincoro Reposado worth the price? Cincoro Reposado positions as an ultra-premium tequila, priced above most standard reposados but justified by its extended aging, dual-region blending process, traditional clay oven and tahona mill production, and its Double Gold recognition at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.Why Cincoro Reposado?The defining differentiator here is time and process. At 8–10 months of underground cellar aging, Cincoro Reposado spends significantly longer in barrel than most competitors in its category, approaching añejo territory while retaining the bright agave character that defines a great reposado. The dual-region sourcing — blending separately processed Highland and Lowland agaves — is a production choice few brands commit to at this scale, and it delivers a more complex and balanced flavor profile than single-region expressions. A Double Gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition adds independent validation. For anyone seeking a reposado that bridges the gap between fresh agave vibrancy and the richer, oak-driven world of añejos, this bottle makes a compelling case.
