Mexico. DeLeon Tequila Reposado. 750ml.
Free shipping. 80 proof.
DeLeon Tequila is produced in the highlands of Purisima del Rincon ("the purest of the corner" ), a village named after the Immaculate Conception. Here, a family has tended their fabrica (distillery) on the most pristine and ideal agave land possible - the iron-rich soil of a mountainous region higher than 7,500 feet above sea level. Agave cultivated at this altitude tends to be exceptionally sweeter, with more honey, citrus, and floral notes. DeLeon also uniquely benefits from two natural spring wells that exclusively serve the family's private distillery. Most everything else is a guarded family secret.
Brent Hocking, the company's Founder and CEO says, "My vision with DeLeon is to exclusively address an extremely discerning customer whose discriminating palette demands the highest quality product. After hundreds of blind tastings with tequila aficionados, master sommeliers and experts everywhere, it is clear we have accomplished this goal."
With only 118 tequila distilleries currently active and over 800 tequilas, almost all tequilas are produced along with several other brands. DeLeon is and will always remain one distillery producing one product.
In a class by itself, DeLeón's beautiful honey amber Reposado should be sipped neat, or savored as the crowning ingredient in an ultra-premium cocktail. While the aging process and blend remains a guarded secret, the unmatched smoothness of DeLeon's Reposado is celebrated by Tequila aficionados around the world.
The beautifully crafted bottle is uniquely squared, unusually heavy, and created by one of the finest glassmakers in the world. The family's trademark DL is subtly sandblasted on the front as to not draw attention away from the perfection that rests inside.
The master, used to create the stunningly beautiful metal top, was hand carved from a one pound ball of sterling silver by famed rock and roll jewelry designer Bill Wall and remains the most familiar iconic identifier of the brand.
