Arette Artesanal Suave Reposado 750 ml

Arette Artesanal Suave Reposado is a reposado tequila from Tequila Arette de Jalisco, made with estate-grown blue agave off the family's lowland fields. The agave is oven-roasted, fermented in cement tanks with house yeast, and double-distilled before the spirit rests the better part of a year in ex-bourbon American oak. That barrel time gives the Artesanal Suave line its softer, rounder shape: cooked agave and light vanilla up front, then ripe apple, plum, and a run of mint and pepper across the middle, closing clean rather than heavily oaked. It is an easy pour for drinkers who find aged tequila too woody, and it still holds its own in a reposado margarita or Paloma.
