Volans Single Barrel Ultra Premium Reposado Tequila

Barrel J-25

This single barrel comes from one of Felipe’s personal American oak barrels, a used Tennessee whiskey barrel with a char #3. It was rested for 3 months in his underground cellar. The conditions in the cellar, with high humidity and stable temperatures, allow the tequila to pick up complexity from the wood without losing its agave character. You get a beautiful balance: the influence of the barrel is there, but the tequila still shines. Bottled at 44% ABV, it’s just shy of cask strength and full of depth.

Nose: The aroma is rich and inviting, with notes of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of toasted oak.

Palate: On the palate, this reposado is smooth and well-balanced, featuring flavors of sweet agave, butterscotch, and a touch of spice, complemented by subtle oak and a hint of dried fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and a gentle spiciness that adds depth and complexity.

Volans Single Barrel Reposado Tequila pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, enhancing the flavors of Mexican cuisine and beyond. Enjoy it with grilled meats such as carne asada or pork carnitas, where its rich and complex profile complements the smoky and savory notes of the meat. It also pairs well with dishes like chile rellenos, roasted vegetables, and spicy salsas. For a unique pairing, try it with dark chocolate or aged cheeses, which highlight the tequila's depth and nuanced flavors.
