Suerte Reposado Tequila

Product Description

Suerte Reposado Tequila: Aged 7 Months in Charred American Oak, Tahona-Crushed

Suerte Reposado is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila that rests for seven months in charred American white oak whiskey barrels, which is long enough to build real depth and, the brand says, still keep the raw, mineral agave character that defines Suerte’s style. It’s tahona-crushed with a two-ton volcanic stone wheel, double-distilled, and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). Its signature notes are butterscotch, caramel, and a hint of plum.

Suerte was founded in 2012 in Boulder, Colorado, and makes its tequila at its own distillery at NOM 1530 in San Francisco de Asís, Jalisco, with the goal of traditional, small-batch tequila at an accessible price. The Reposado was awarded a Platinum at the 2024 SIP Awards, per a retailer listing.

Tasting Notes

From Suerte’s own notes plus reviewer descriptions.

Color: Pale amber with golden reflections.

Nose: Cooked agave with citrus, vanilla, butterscotch, and baking spice.

Palate: Butterscotch, caramel, and a hint of plum, with soft oak, raw agave, and citrus over a mineral base.

Finish: A little peppery, with pops of fruit and light caramel and oak.

Food Pairings

The butterscotch and plum pair well with grilled chicken, pork carnitas, and tacos al pastor. It also goes with mole, roasted vegetables, flan, and mild cheeses.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy it neat or over a single large cube, as the brand suggests. It’s also a good cocktail reposado: use it in a Margarita for a richer take, a Paloma, or a tequila Old Fashioned. The barrel influence is stronger than in many reposados, so it holds up to bitters and citrus.
