Calle 23 Reposado 100% Agave - 70CL

2000 metres above sea level in Mexico’s Jalisco state lie the Jalisco highlands and perhaps the world’s richest terroir for Blue Weber Agave. It was here that French ex-pat Sophie Decobecq founded Calle 23, distiller of some of Mexico’s finest tequila.  Using her background of Biochemistry and Engineering, over a six year period, Sophie gradually developed the legendary Calle 23 tequilas that the world enjoys today.  
European precision and French flair meets pristine Mexican Blue Agave and local craftsmanship for a match made in heaven. Jalisco’s highland tequilas are lighter, more floral and fruity than those from the lowlands and Calle 23’s are front and centre here. 

Calle 23 Reposado Tequila is a premium 100% blue agave spirit featuring tasting notes of fresh wood spice, cooked peppers, and sweet fig, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70 cl size.

Tasting Notes

•    Aroma: Lively and fresh wood spices float up from glass, backed by delicious light hints of wood and a major role played by cooked agave.
•    Palate: Light and smooth profile, fairly light for an aged tequila yet rich with cooked peppers, fresh herbs, and a spicy personality added by wood.
•    Finish: Complete experience with a sweet note of figs and a short, clean finish.

Serving and Cocktail Suggestions

•    Neat / Sipping: Enjoy at room temperature or slightly cool to appreciate fine balance between wood and vegetal agave notes.
•    Reposado Old Fashioned: Stir with a dash of agave syrup and orange bitters over a large ice block.
•    El Presidente Tequila Twist: Mix with dry vermouth and a dash of orange Curaçao for an elegant stirred drink.

Food Pairing Ideas

•    Grilled Pork Chops: Complements smoky flavours and light peppery spice.
•    Roasted Fig and Goat Cheese Salad: Matches sweet fig undertones in spirit.
•    Dark Chocolate Tart: Enhances rich vanilla and subtle oak characteristics.

Distilling Methods

•    Cooking and Distillation: Agaves are slowly cooked in stainless steel autoclaves to protect delicate flavours, double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and rested for eight months in ex-bourbon oak barrels.
