Laced with decadent dark fruits and sultry spices, the relatively minimal aging on this reposado strikes an ideal contrast between the confectionary influence of the oak, and the fruit-forward, racier profile of the raw agave spirit. You can unpack it for ages, but also—you don’t need to. Just have some fun.
