Arette Reposado Tequila is a spirit that embodies the rich heritage of tequila production in Mexico. Crafted in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, this particular expression is distilled from 100% blue agave. The agave plants are harvested at their peak maturity, ensuring a high sugar content which translates into a smoother, more refined end product.
Upon distillation, Arette Reposado is aged in American white oak barrels for six months. This relatively short period of repose allows the tequila to develop a golden hue and imbibe subtle woody notes without overwhelming the inherent agave flavors. The aging process also imparts hints of vanilla and butterscotch to the palate.
On nosing Arette Reposado Tequila, one can detect an inviting bouquet that balances cooked agave with light caramel undertones and a touch of citrus zest. The taste profile follows suit with an elegant interplay between peppery spice and sweet nuances reminiscent of honey and brown sugar.
Producer Notes: Tequila Arette
Tequila Arette crafts their renowned Arette Reposado Tequila in the historic town of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. This region is not just any place; it’s where the very essence of all tequila begins, nestled in an area rich with volcanic soil perfect for growing the blue agave plant—the heart and soul of tequila.
The Arette Reposado is a special kind of tequila that has been rested or “reposado” in oak barrels. This rest period gives it a smooth taste with hints of wood, making it different from the sharp bite of a blanco or silver tequila that hasn’t been aged. Imagine taking a sip and tasting a mix of sweet agave with a whisper of vanilla and caramel—that’s what makes reposado so delightful.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
