Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida rests this tequila in American ex-bourbon barrels for two months, helping it offer "romas of subtle butterscotch, fresh brick powder, light resin, and green pea shoots; the palate explodes with sweet roasted carrot, raspberry sherbet, soft baking spices, wet tile, faint orange rind, honeydew, and a finish of crème brûlée and golden beets," according to the importer. The traditionally produced Amatiteña brand is not from one of the facilities you'd usually associate with old-school tequila production. The distillery outside of El Arenal is home to many large brands, but they also have an old tahona wheel. Here they've taken a single field source of agave, allowed for traditional roasting in brick ovens, pressed on the tahona wheel and fermented with wild yeast. Distilled in the facility's small copper pots and surprise surprise, the result is exceptional tequila! It's not a complicated formula, but we're more than happy to have another delicious traditional, additive-free reposado tequila on the shelf.
