The Cabrito distillery was established in 1890 in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico. Casa Centinela was founded in 1904 by the Torres Perez Vargas family. Casa Centinela have been producing Tequila at the Hacienda El Centinela on the outskirts of the town of Arandas, in the highlands of Jalisco, since 1904. The company we know today is the result of a visionary man, Don Jose de Jesus Hernandez. His inspirational zeal for perfection resulted in a range of distinctive tasting tequilas that are a renowned part of La Familia Centinela.
Cabrito Tequila Reposado presents a delightful array of flavours and aromas that make it a standout choice among reposados. On the nose, it offers rich, earthy notes of cooked agave, complemented by subtleties of oak and a hint of citrus, providing a robust introduction. The palate follows with a harmonious blend of sweet and sour flavours anchored by the earthiness of agave. Notes of liquorice and mint add an intriguing complexity, while a slightly oily texture enhances the mouthfeel. The finish is medium to long, carrying forward the agave's earthiness with an additional refreshing hint of orange that lingers pleasantly. This profile makes Cabrito Reposado a versatile tequila that can be enjoyed both neat and in various cocktails.
