Arette Suave Reposado Artesanal Tequila 38% 750ml

Tequila Arette is a family owned distillery, operated by the Orendain family, one of the four founding families of the Tequila appellation. The distillery itself, named El Llano, is only a few minutes walk from the town centre of Tequila, Jalisco. It was the original site of production in the early 1900s, once production eclipsed the capacity of the site, the Orendain family moved to a larger facility now known as the Orendain Distillery.

In 1978, the original site was reopened by the family as Tequila Arette, in order to capture the traditional, Artesanal style of production that was lost upon moving to a more industrial setting. The name Arette pays homage to a famous Mexican racehorse, which won Mexico's first riding Gold Medal at the 1948 Olympics.

The Reposado Suave from Arette is aged 11 months in American Oak barrels, contributing a light, golden hue to the spirit. 100% Blue Weber Agave, traditional fermentation and distillation equipment, an aging period in the El Llano cellar and a quality over quantity approach all combine to create a Tequila that is irresistably smooth, fragrant, and mellow, fitting the Suave label. The Reposado brings a soft sweetness, vanilla and a hint of brown sugar, which mingles with a charred vegetable earthiness, keeping the tequila in balance.

Perfect for a Paloma, or sipped neat or over ice.
