A few months back I was sent 12 barrel samples from my friends at El Tesoro in Jalisco. I loved almost every one of them but as is the norm for me there was one that stood out amongst the rest. Of course, I should have known it was aged in bourbon barrel. This barrel was 11 months old so we labeled it as a Reposado.
El Tesoro is one of the oldest family run Tequila distilleries still around. I’m sure that why they still use the much more expensive Tahona method to crush the Pina’s. Most of the big houses are using a mechanical press now instead of the “Tahona” stone (A huge volcanic stone that is turned by mules). Usually this method is only reserved for the most expensive tequilas. To find one under $60 is pretty rare.
My second of two barrels, this one seems a little more lively. A bevy of citrus aromas pour out of this one with Maui Gold pineapple notes followed by a smooth mix of oak and vanilla. This is absolutely delicious to just sit with and sip but with an under $50/btl price tag, you might not be able to resist the temptation of pouring yourself a premium margarita.

The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
This is the very first 2024 installment of the limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe. They’re calling this batch ‘Springfield Batch’ as an homage to Booker Noe’s hometown in Kentucky where he was born and raised. This is a little bit of an older age statement than the last few in the series at 7 years, 7 months, and 8 days. It was bottled at 62% alc (124 Proof).

This is the first release of its kind and was just announced last week. I snagged six bottles as soon as I could. It’s a U.S. only release, and it remains to be seen if there will be others. The Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in American Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it’s finished for a minimum of 4 months in hand selected, air-dried American Oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky.
