Sierra Reposado (700 ml)

Sierra Tequila was built for volume but not without craft: the Reposado expression rests in American oak barrels for a minimum of two months, the legal floor for the reposado category, drawing vanilla and light caramel from the wood without obscuring the raw vegetal punch of the agave. The blue Weber agave (Agave tequilana) is sourced from Jalisco, the only Mexican state whose highlands and lowlands together define the tequila appellation — the red, iron-rich volcanic soils of the Los Altos highlands push the piña toward higher sugar concentration and a distinctly herbaceous, citrus-forward profile. Jimadores harvest mature plants at 8–12 years, and the piñas are cooked in traditional autoclaves before fermentation and double distillation in column and pot stills. The iconic bottle design — a miniature sombrero as a cap — is a deliberate marketing signature that has made Sierra one of the highest-recognition tequila brands in European markets since the 1980s. At 38% ABV, it sits slightly below the 40% standard, a formulation choice that softens the spirit for mixed-drink consumption. Drink now; no aging upside in bottle.
