Cenote Reposado Tequila

Cenote Reposado channels the spirit of Mexico’s sacred cenotes and the craft of Jalisco. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave harvested at full maturity, it rests three months in American oak to soften bright agave into notes of vanilla, baking spice and gentle wood. Naturally filtered volcano water and careful pot distillation preserve clarity and freshness, while the striking bottle nods to Yucatán heritage—equally at home on the table or as a thoughtful gift.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Golden-straw and inviting on the nose: vanilla, light oak and citrus over cooked agave. The palate is round and harmonious—sweet agave, spice, subtle wood and green herbal lift—gliding to a smooth, lightly peppered finish.

Cocktail Pairings

A sun-lit Reposado Paloma—grapefruit blush, lime wedge and a whisper of salt—lets vanilla-oak warmth sparkle. A Tommy’s Margarita (lime & agave) amplifies cooked agave and citrus purity. For evening glow, a Reposado Old Fashioned folds bitters and orange oils into caramel-oak depth. Brunch ready, a Ranch Water (topo chico, lime) is crisp and mineral. Or lean aromatic with a Mexican Manhattan, sweet vermouth and grapefruit twist.

Craftsmanship & Story

Inspired by the “sacred wells” of the Yucatán, Cenote sources artesian volcano water and mature lowland agave (6–7 years). Agaves are slow-cooked, then double distilled in a blend of copper and stainless pot stills to retain a clean agave core. A short American oak rest rounds edges while preserving freshness—Master Distiller Arturo Fuentes’ barrel program keeps agave at the centre, accented by delicate vanilla and spice.
