Arette Artesanal Suave Reposado Single Barrel Select Tequila (750mL)

Distilled from Blue Weber agave grown on the estate and organically farmed on a 300-hectare lowland site. Agave is roasted for 15 hours at 120° C and then rested for another 15 hours. Fermented for six to seven days with house yeast in El Llano's initial cement vat to around 4-5 percent abv. Eduardo Orendain distilled it twice in stainless steel pot stills with an internal copper condenser before aging it for 11 months in ex-Bourbon barrels.

The tighter cut of the distillate means fewer acetone flavors and emphasizes a mid-palate wash of mint, pepper, vanilla, and ripe apple and plum, with fruity-sweet flavor notes.
