This is the tequila that finally makes "tequila neat" sound like a good idea. Nine-ish months napping in oak smooths off the rough edges, so what lands on your tongue is warm vanilla, soft caramel and sweet roasted agave. Pour it after the nyama choma when the night's just getting good, or build a Paloma and let it carry the party. Got a full litre of it, delivered to your door, any hour you fancy.
Nose first: vanilla and caramel with a green, peppery agave note underneath, plus a whisper of smoke. On the palate it's smooth and rounded, sweet agave up front rolling into mellow oak spice and a touch of toasted-barrel warmth. The finish is dry and gently lingering, never harsh. That golden colour and the soft, fruity sweetness come from the oak rest, this is a reposado, so it's had time to chill out.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Sierra is made by Destilerías Sierra Unidas near Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the only place on earth allowed to call its spirit tequila. The blue Weber agave comes from Los Altos, the highlands, where the soil and altitude give the plants a sweeter, fruitier character. They twice-distil in copper pot stills, then rest it around nine months in toasted American oak that once held bourbon. You'd know the bottle anywhere: it's the one wearing the little red sombrero cap.
