Olmeca Tequila is a well-known brand that originates from Jalisco, Mexico, a region renowned for its optimal conditions for growing the blue agave used in tequila production. The brand is produced at the Destilería Colonial de Jalisco, where traditional methods, including the use of brick ovens for cooking the agave and copper pot stills for distillation, are employed to create their spirits. This commitment to traditional techniques is a hallmark of the Olmeca brand, contributing to the distinctive flavors and quality of their tequila products.
This Reposado from Olmeca, known for its traditional production methods including the use of a stone wheel for crushing and small copper pot stills for distillation, provides a rich and complex flavor profile typical of a carefully aged spirit. It’s aged 8-10 months in used bourbon barrels, which contributes to its nuanced taste.
Nose:
Sweet and fruity, characterized by cooked agave, citrus, vanilla, and hints of oak.
Palate:
Offers a flavor profile of sweet agave balanced by tobacco leaf, caramel, corn, toffee, coffee, oak, pepper, and butter. Additional nuances of baked apple and vanilla enhance the complexity.
Finish:
The tequila finishes with a mix of cocoa and a whisper of smoke, adding depth to the lingering sweetness.
