Ghost Reposado Tequila

Product Description

Ghost Reposado Tequila: Oak-Rested Blue Agave with a Pinch of Ghost Pepper

Ghost Reposado is a spicy reposado that keeps the heat in check. It’s a 100% Blue Agave tequila rested in American white oak and then infused with a pinch of ghost pepper. The brand says the pepper gives a quick hit of heat followed by a fruity, smooth finish, “never overpowering.” The oak adds vanilla and a rounder, more sippable character than Ghost’s Blanco, so it works neat or on the rocks, but it’s built for cocktails with a kick.

Ghost Tequila calls its drinks “Perfectly Spicy,” and it markets this one as a way to trade up from a regular spicy tequila to something with more depth. It’s bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml recyclable glass bottle, and it’s gluten-free.

How Ghost Reposado Is Made

The tequila starts with mature Blue Weber agave from both the Highlands and Lowlands of Jalisco, slow-cooked in brick ovens for two days and crushed in a roller mill to extract the juice. The tequila is then rested in American white oak “pipones” with a signature toast. The brand’s current page lists 4 to 6 months of aging, which is what makes it a reposado. After that it’s infused with a pinch of ghost pepper. The brand also notes that during bottling, the room smells like chocolate.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright gold.

Aroma: Spicy cooked agave.

Palate: A mild spice hits the front of the tongue first, followed immediately by sweet cooked agave and vanilla from the charred oak.

Finish: Sweet and citric.

Food Pairings

The heat and sweetness pair well with tacos al pastor, carne asada, grilled shrimp, and chicken wings. It also goes with mango salsa, guacamole, and spicy dishes where a little extra heat fits, and with chocolate or churros for a sweet-heat dessert.

Serving Suggestions

Ghost recommends it in its signature cocktails: a Perfectly Spicy Ranch Water, Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and Bloody Maria. It also works in a spicy margarita, a paloma, or a tequila and ginger beer. To sip it, serve it neat or over a large ice cube so the oak and agave come through.
