Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila

Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila is a rich and beautifully balanced Mexican tequila produced from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco. Created by Maestro Tequilero Jesús Hernández alongside bartenders Henry Besant and Dre Masso, Altos combines traditional tequila-making techniques with a style developed for both sipping and mixing.

The hand-harvested agave is slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens before being crushed using a combination of a centuries-old volcanic stone tahona and modern roller mills. Following fermentation, the spirit is distilled in copper pot stills to preserve the cooked agave’s naturally sweet, earthy and citrus-led character.

Olmeca Altos Reposado is matured for between six and eight months in small American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. The casks add creamy vanilla, caramel and gently toasted oak while allowing the fresh flavour of the agave to remain clearly present. The result is a rounded reposado tequila that balances natural sweetness, citrus freshness and warming spice.

The nose opens with cooked agave, sweet orange and grapefruit, accompanied by vanilla, caramel and subtle oak. On the palate, roasted agave and honeyed sweetness are joined by toffee, citrus peel and a touch of herbal character. White pepper and oak spice build towards a long, warming and well-balanced finish.

Bottled at 38% ABV in a 70cl bottle, Olmeca Altos Reposado can be enjoyed neat, served over ice or used to add greater depth to classic tequila cocktails. Its combination of agave, citrus, vanilla and oak works particularly well in a Reposado Margarita, Paloma or Tequila Old Fashioned.
