El Mayor Reposado Tequila

El Mayor Reposado Tequila is rested in white oak barrels for a minimum of nine months, giving subtle golden hues and an elegantly structured, balanced taste with a notably smooth finish. El Mayor is made by the Gonzalez family, led by master distiller Rodolfo Gonzalez, at Destiladora González Lux just outside Arandas in the highlands of Jalisco, a continuation of the decades-old partnership between the Lux and Gonzalez families. Estate agave is grown at around 7,500 feet above sea level in mineral-rich, sandy soil. Bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle, El Mayor Reposado won Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Platinum at the 2023 ASCOT Awards.
