Sango is a type of agave spirit that is hand-harvested from the desert regions of the Karoo and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Agave has been growing in these regions for over a century, providing the raw material for the production of Sango. This spirit is likely to have unique characteristics influenced by the terroir of these specific regions.
Sango Reposado offers a delightful exploration of matured agave flavours. Aged in stainless steel tanks for three months, this spirit maintains a bright, clear agave presence which is slightly mellowed by the resting process, adding a gentle complexity to its profile.
Nose:
The aroma of Sango Reposado features a blend of cooked agave and mild oak, accompanied by undercurrents of caramel and citrus. This combination imparts a warm and inviting olfactory experience, enriched by the aging process.
Palate:
On the palate, Sango Reposado presents a silky texture. The taste is a harmonious mix of honeyed agave and light pepper, accented with subtle hints of minerality and the faintest whisper of oak. This provides a balanced, smooth sipping experience that respects the spirit's agave roots while introducing new dimensions from its brief aging.
Finish:
The finish of Sango Reposado is medium-long, leaving a dry and delicate peppery note that lingers pleasantly, encouraging another sip.
