Avión Reposado Tequila

The obsession to produce the world's most delicious tequila begins high in the hills of Jalisco, 7,000 feet above sea level, where the finest handpicked Blue Weber Agave slow roasts in brick ovens to bring out an unparalleled blend of natural flavors and aromas. But before it's bottled, Tequila Avión is loved a little longer. Up to ten times longer than other tequilas, to be exact. The proprietary Ultra Slow Filtration process filters Tequila Avión into the smoothest Silver, Reposado, and Añejo varietals in the world. The result is a flavor profile loved by everyone who tastes, including the judges at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, who honored Avión by naming it "Best Tequila" and "Best Unaged White Spirit," and by awarding it the Double Gold medal for the second consecutive year. Avión Reposado is a light amber colored tequila that is aged for six months (three times longer than the industry norm). It has roasted agave aromas with pleasant notes of oak and vanilla. The palate is quite floral with hints of cherry, peach, and pear. (from the distiller)
