Mijenta Reposado Tequila is a premium, handcrafted spirit that embodies the rich heritage and tradition of tequila-making in Mexico. This exquisite drink is carefully crafted using only the finest, hand-selected 100% blue weber agave, which is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
One of the key aspects that sets Mijenta Reposado Tequila apart is its aging process. After the agave is harvested, it is cooked in traditional brick ovens and then crushed to extract the juice. This juice is then fermented using natural yeast, which gives the tequila its unique flavor profile.
Following fermentation, the tequila is double-distilled in copper stills, a method that ensures the highest quality and purity of the spirit. It is during this distillation process that the tequila gains its smoothness and complexity.
Once the distillation is complete, Mijenta Reposado Tequila is aged for a minimum of six months in American white oak barrels. This aging process imparts a beautiful golden hue to the tequila and allows it to develop its distinct flavor characteristics.
The flavor profile of Mijenta Reposado Tequila is a harmonious blend of sweet and spicy notes. On the nose, you will detect hints of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, which are complemented by subtle floral undertones. The taste is rich and velvety, with flavors of cooked agave, cinnamon, and a touch of honey. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a warm, lingering sensation on the palate.
Mijenta Reposado Tequila is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing its complex flavors to shine. It also serves as an excellent base for cocktails, adding depth and character to classic tequila-based drinks like margaritas or palomas.
In addition to its exceptional taste, Mijenta Reposado Tequila is committed to sustainability and social responsibility. The brand takes great care to ensure that its production processes are environmentally friendly, and it actively supports local communities in Jalisco through various initiatives.
Producer Information: Mijenta Tequila
Mijenta Tequila is a premium, artisanal tequila brand that hails from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, a region renowned for its tequila production. The brand, which was launched in 2020, is dedicated to creating sustainable, high-quality tequilas that embody the rich cultural heritage of Mexico.
Mijenta Tequila is made from fully mature Blue Weber agave plants that are hand-selected and slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens. The tequila is then aged in American white oak barrels, which imparts a unique flavor profile that includes notes of honey, vanilla, and caramel, along with the earthy, sweet flavor of agave.
Currently, Mijenta Tequila produces two types of tequila: Mijenta Blanco and Mijenta Reposado. The Blanco is unaged, which allows the pure, vibrant flavors of the agave to shine through. The Reposado is aged for up to six months, giving it a more complex, smooth flavor with hints of oak and spice.
Mijenta Tequila is committed to sustainability and social responsibility. The brand uses recycled materials for its packaging, and a portion of its profits are donated to local initiatives in Jalisco, including those that support agave farmers and their communities.

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.
