Reposado (Rested)

Reposado  translates to restful, or in this case, rested. Reposado tequilas have been aged for at least two months, but perhaps as long as a full year, in oak barrels. This allows the flavor to mellow, taking on hints of oak, and turns the tequila to a soft golden color. Reposados are usually aged  in American oak barrels, and can also be aged in French oak barrels.
