What is Mijenta Reposado Tequila?

Mijenta Reposado Tequila offers a unique twist on the traditional aging process, resting for up to six months in a blend of American white oak, French oak, and French acacia casks. This innovative approach results in a complex flavor profile that includes notes of vanilla, bergamot, and honey, alongside a subtle hint of cantaloupe - an unexpected fruit character rarely found in tequilas.

Why do we love Mijenta Reposado Tequila?

Mijenta Reposado Tequila stands out for its unique aging process, which includes time spent in both American white oak and French oak barrels, imparting a complex flavor profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spices. This small-batch tequila is made from 100% blue weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, and is crafted using traditional methods combined with innovative sustainability practices, including the use of biomass and solar energy in production.

How do you drink Mijenta Reposado Tequila?

Mijenta Reposado Tequila shines when sipped neat or over a large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This versatile spirit also excels in stirred cocktails that highlight its depth, making it perfect for cozy autumn evenings or pairing with rich, grilled meats and smoky dishes that complement its subtle oak notes.

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Bright agave aromas mingle with vanilla and caramel. Hints of cinnamon and toasted oak add depth. A subtle citrus note reminiscent of orange peel emerges.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. The agave sweetness is complemented by flavors of cooked pear and apple. Vanilla and butterscotch notes from oak aging are present but not overpowering. A touch of white pepper and nutmeg adds complexity.

Finish: Medium-long with a warm, spicy character. Cinnamon and clove linger alongside a gentle oakiness. The finish is clean with a subtle return of agave sweetness.

Mijenta Reposado Tequila is crafted from hand-selected, fully mature Blue Weber agave plants that are slow-cooked and distilled using both pot and column stills. After distillation, the tequila rests for six months in a blend of American white oak, French oak, and French acacia casks, imparting a unique complexity and depth of flavor to the final product.

Mijenta Reposado Tequila is aged in a combination of American white oak, French oak, and French acacia casks, creating a complex flavor profile that includes notes of vanilla, bergamot, and honey – a stark contrast to the typical reposado aging process.

The brand employs a "Maestra Tequilera," Ana María Romero, who is one of the few female Master Distillers in the tequila industry. Her expertise includes being a professional "nose," capable of detecting over 600 aromas.

Mijenta's commitment to sustainability extends beyond the bottle – they use agave waste to create packaging materials and have partnered with local communities to replant native trees in Jalisco, effectively offsetting their carbon footprint.
