Let's talk about that nose - it's a real journey! You've got that fresh agave right up front, reminding you of its roots. Then there's a gentle whisper of oak, likely from its time resting in barrels. The light orange blossom adds a touch of floral elegance, while a honey sweetness dances in the background.

The oak makes another appearance, along with those classic vanilla and caramel notes.
The finish? It's like a gentle goodbye that leaves you wanting more. You get this mellow sweetness that lingers, with vanilla taking center stage. And just when you think it's done, there's a little touch of salted caramel that makes you go "Mmm, one more sip won't hurt, right?"
All in all, Santaleza Tequila Reposado is a sophisticated sipper that showcases the art of tequila-making. It's perfect for those nights when you want to slow down, savor each sip, and really appreciate the craftsmanship in your glass.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
