Detailed Description
Campeón Tequila insists on using exclusively “Blue Agave de superior” from the uppermost regions in The Highlands of Jalisco. When you look closely at our Tequilas, our aged products are lighter color than what you may be used to in other Añejo and Reposado tequila. We don’t believe in using overly charred barrels which impart their own flavor, easily masking a high quality, or flawed product. You’ll see our light straw color which comes not from the barrel but from caramelizing the Blue Agave. Our barrel aging softens and adds depth and layers, but you’ll never see our product’s exceptional flavor masked by woody barrel overtones. You will taste the thick, aged agave juice, aged to perfection.
Campeon Reposado Tequila Tasting Notes
Nose: A kaleidoscope of citrus flavor on the nose permeates throughout – fresh lemon and lime zest with ripe orange and a hint of sautéed butter.
Palate: Primal elements of toasted oak in perfect proportion on the palate.
Finish: Exceptionally balanced and structured with a beautiful, long finish.
Distillery Information
Working with Juan Eduardo Nuñez, third generation Master Distiller from the famed distillery, “El Viejito”, founded in 1937, we crafted and perfected the world’s first Mezquila, and, appropriately called it, Santo. The distillery is located in the “highlands” of the state of Jalisco.
