Bold, smooth and effortlessly stylish, Mucha Liga Caníbal Reposado Tequila channels lucha libre swagger into a refined, barrel-kissed sip. Rested six months in ex-bourbon American oak, it layers caramel, vanilla and gentle baking spice over ripe blue-agave character for a plush, balanced finish—perfect for sipping, gifting and elevated cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Golden and luminous in the glass with medium-to-full body. The nose opens with orange peel, light oak and caramel, unfolding to stewed agave, ginger and cola spice. On the palate it’s silky yet robust: cooked agave, vanilla and cinnamon glide over a touch of anise and toasted wood. A lingering finish brings soft smoke and warm oak to neatly check the sweetness.

Cocktail Pairings

A smooth, spirit-forward Reposado Old Fashioned spotlights its caramel-oak core with a dash of bitters and agave. A citrus-bright Paloma layers grapefruit and lime over Caníbal’s pepper-vanilla warmth, while a zesty Spicy Margarita adds jalapeño heat for delicious tension. For bitters lovers, the Caníbal Negroni (reposado, bitter apéritif, a whisper of grapefruit and ginger) is deeply aromatic. Brunch or late-night, the Mexico City classic Distrito Federal (reposado, sweet vermouth, orange bitters) delivers plush oak and spice in a sleek, stirred serve.

Craftsmanship & Story

Mucha Liga celebrates Mexico’s lucha libre with hand-blown, hand-painted mask bottles and small-batch tequilas that fight above their weight. Caníbal Reposado is distilled at Destiladora Juanacatlán from carefully grown Blue Weber agave of La Ciénega, then rested in ex-bourbon American oak to add roundness and depth without losing the heart of agave. The result is an “untamed” yet polished reposado that’s as collectible as it is drinkable.

Special Features

Six-month ex-bourbon rest for caramel-vanilla harmony; silky texture with a gentle kiss of smoke; striking, gift-ready mask decanter in a handsome open box; crafted for both neat pours and modern classic cocktails.
