Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep amber with bronze highlights — rich, clear, and elegantly dense in the glass.
Nose: Warm notes of cooked agave and dark caramel, complemented by dried fruit, toasted oak, vanilla bean, cinnamon spice, and hints of chocolate and clove.
Palate: Full-bodied and smooth, weaving together flavors of caramelized sugar, butterscotch, dried figs or raisins, toasted oak, sweet vanilla, and gentle baking spices. Layers of cocoa, tobacco leaf, and subtle citrus zest emerge as it opens, adding dimension and richness.
Finish: Long, luxurious, and warming — carrying lingering oak spice, dried fruit sweetness, subtle molasses, and a touch of earthy agave warmth.
Craftsmanship
Reserva de la Familia is made exclusively from mature blue Weber agave, cooked slowly to preserve natural sugars and then double-distilled to refine its character. The resulting tequila is aged for extended periods in French oak barrels specially selected for their influence on aroma and flavor. This extra añejo process develops deep wood-driven complexity while maintaining the core agave essence. Each batch is released in limited bottles that are individually numbered and presented with care reflective of its artisanal roots.
Best Enjoyed
Serve neat in a tulip glass or snifter at room temperature to appreciate the layered aromatic and flavor evolution. It also benefits from a large ice cube to soften richer notes and reveal deeper nuance. This tequila pairs beautifully with fine chocolate, caramel desserts, or simply as a contemplative after-dinner sip.
