Jenni Rivera Reposado 750ML

Jenni Rivera Reposado 750ML is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle. This reposado rests a minimum of six months in American oak barrels and draws character from a dual-source agave program spanning the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, producing a smooth, vanilla-forward profile with notable agave backbone.Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Reposado — Aged 6+ Months  |  NOM 1173 — Destilería Santa Lucia (Newton)Production & HeritageJenni Rivera Tequila honors the legacy of the iconic Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera and is produced under NOM 1173 at Corporativo Destilería Santa Lucia in Jalisco, Mexico. The production process employs a hybrid baking method that combines traditional stone masonry ovens with modern autoclaves, a technique designed to balance the sweet, caramelized notes of slow-cooked agave with the bright, herbaceous qualities favored by faster extraction. The 100% blue Weber agave is sourced from both the Tequila valley and the highland and lowland regions of Jalisco, contributing a broader spectrum of terroir-driven flavors than single-source expressions. After distillation, the tequila rests for a minimum of six months in American oak barrels, which impart vanilla, light caramel, and toasted wood notes without overwhelming the agave character.Tasting NotesAroma: Cooked agave arrives first, followed by layers of vanilla, peach, and citrus. Herbal and floral undertones add lift, with a soft caramel sweetness rounding out the nose.Taste: The entry is clean and fresh, led by sweet vanilla and dried fruit before a firm agave core asserts itself at mid-palate. Toasted oak and gentle baking spice emerge as the flavors develop, balanced by a persistent fruity sweetness that keeps the profile approachable.Finish: Medium in length, with lingering fruit and spice that fade gradually into warm oak. A subtle peppery note surfaces at the very end, grounding the sweetness nicely.How to Drink Jenni Rivera ReposadoThis reposado shows well neat at room temperature, where the interplay between cooked agave and American oak is most transparent; a few drops of water can help open the floral aromatics. It also performs capably in cocktails that benefit from oak-aged depth. A Reposado Paloma lets the citrus and fruit notes amplify alongside grapefruit soda. A Tequila Old Fashioned plays off the vanilla and caramel foundation, requiring only a barspoon of agave nectar and a dash of Angostura. A Mexican Mule pairs the spice finish with ginger beer and fresh lime for a refreshing long drink.Best For
