Chamucos Reposado
Chamucos · Tequila Chamucos (NOM 1586)
A poised, quietly confident reposado that rewards contemplative sipping — proof that highland tequila can express both delicacy and depth without additive shortcuts.
Nose
Cooked agave leads with layers of vanilla bean, warm caramel, and toasted oak; subtle citrus peel and a whisper of green herbs lift the sweeter notes.
Palate
Silky and rounded on entry, opening to baked agave, buttery caramel, honeyed pear, and a gentle drift of cinnamon and cocoa. Mid-palate reveals oak spice, minerality, and a citrus-pith brightness that keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Medium-length and composed, with lingering vanilla, cooked agave, and a soft peppery warmth that fades slowly into oak and honey.
