1800 Tequila Reposado
1800 Tequila Reposado is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila that is rested in oak barrels, giving it a smoother, slightly richer profile than blanco. It sits in the “reposado” category, meaning it is aged (rested) from a few months up to about a year in wood, which softens the raw agave edge and adds caramel and spice notes.
