La Hora Azul (Blue Hour) Reposado is a sleek, luxury tequila crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave in Jalisco. Aged in American white oak, it marries luminous golden colour with silky texture, weaving vanilla, caramel and honeyed agave into a refined, modern profile. The striking bottle carries twin intertwined serpents — an emblem of vitality and continuity — making it as gift-worthy as it is delicious for elevated sipping and cocktails.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Sunlit aromas of vanilla, caramel and soft honey rise over ripe agave. The palate glides in silky waves: oak-laced sweetness, gentle baking spice and fresh orchard fruit. Subtle cinnamon and pepper lend balance, tapering to a smooth, lingering finish with warm spice and a clean mineral snap.

Cocktail Pairings
A crystalline Reposado Margarita with a tajín rim and lime zest shows off its oak-kissed agave. A grapefruit Paloma with a rosemary sprig sparkles at golden hour. Try an Oaxaca Old Fashioned for smoky depth, or a velvety Tequila Sour with silky foam. A Mexican Mule brings gingery lift, while a Reposado Martini (stirred, lemon twist) is pure evening elegance.
Craftsmanship & Story
Produced for Don Good Tequila Company at NOM 1551, the agave is slow-cooked in stone/brick ovens, roller-milled, fermented in stainless steel, and double-distilled in copper pot stills before resting in American white oak. The “Blue Hour” name evokes twilight’s tranquil glow, while the hand-applied twin-serpent emblem underscores a contemporary, collectible design.
Special Features
Nearly a year’s repose in American oak for seamless vanilla-caramel richness; elegant, modern bottle handcrafted in Guadalajara with the signature intertwined serpent medallion; refined balance that suits neat sipping yet retains the brightness to elevate classic citrus-led serves — a standout centrepiece for any bar or gift.
