All of the picks on this list are high-quality and thoughtfully-produced reposado tequilas, and you really can't go wrong with any of them. If you're looking for a floral ...
Smoothness
One great reason to barrel age a tequila is to mellow the rough edges that are sometimes left in the spirit after distilling. Reposado should have personality but be easily sippable.
NOM Number
Every tequila should have the letters “NOM” followed by a number on its label. This “Norma Oficial Mexicana” is the officially designated number for the distillery where the reposado was made. With this information in hand, you can research the distilling practices that went into the bottle. If you’re a fan of traditional methods, for instance, the NOM helps you identify distillers that use brick ovens to cook their agave and a tahona, or volcanic-rock grinding mill, to crush it.
Agave Flavor
The fruity, spicy notes of agave are what makes a tequila. Purists love to taste that raw material in the bottle. No aging process should erase that.
What's the difference between reposado and other expressions of tequila?
As opposed to blanco tequila, which is unaged, and añejo tequila, which is aged for a year or more, reposado tequila is aged at least two months and up to a year in barrel. That mild amount of aging results in a smooth, golden, and incredibly versatile spirit.
How is it different from mezcal?
Essentially, all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. Mezcal is a general category for all agave-based distillates. Tequila is mezcal that must be produced using the blue agave plant within the Mexican state of Jalisco and four of its neighboring states. Beyond the legal definition, reposado tequila is not produced, as is mezcal, by pit-roasting the agave. Therefore, it does not have mezcal’s signature smokiness.
What's the best way to drink it?
With reposado, you’re getting a spirit that has been mellowed by a bit of aging, but not so much that it can’t play nicely with a wide range of other ingredients in a cocktail. So the answer to this question is: However you want to drink it! Reposado is ready for neat sipping, rocks, or cocktails of all kinds. Try it in a margarita, where it adds a bit of lusciousness.
