Clase 1111 Reposado 750ML

Clase 1111 Reposado 750ML is a 40% ABV reposado tequila from Mexico, rested in oak barrels to develop a smooth, layered character beyond its blanco counterpart. As a reposado — meaning "rested" — this expression bridges the gap between the bright agave punch of an unaged tequila and the deeper wood influence of an añejo.

Production & Heritage

Clase 1111 Reposado is produced in Jalisco, Mexico's heartland for tequila production. As with all authentic tequila, it is distilled from 100% blue Weber agave. The reposado designation requires aging for a minimum of two months and up to twelve months in oak barrels, a resting period that imparts warm vanilla and caramel undertones while preserving the vegetal freshness of cooked agave. The result is a tequila that carries more complexity than a blanco without the heavier oak influence found in añejo expressions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cooked agave leads the nose, followed by soft vanilla, light caramel, and a subtle herbal quality. A faint hint of toasted oak rounds out the bouquet.

Taste: The entry is smooth, with roasted agave and honey at the forefront. Mid-palate, gentle notes of vanilla, baking spice, and a whisper of white pepper develop. A mild citrus brightness keeps the profile from becoming overly sweet, maintaining balance through the peak.

Finish: Medium in length, with lingering warmth from oak and a pleasant agave sweetness. A dry, peppery note closes things out cleanly.

How to Drink Clase 1111 Reposado

Sipping neat or over a single large ice cube allows the oak-aged complexity to come through fully. A few drops of water can open up the lighter herbal and citrus nuances hidden beneath the vanilla.

• Paloma: The reposado's vanilla warmth pairs beautifully with grapefruit soda and a salted rim, adding depth beyond what a blanco delivers.
• Oaxaca Old Fashioned: Substitute or split the base spirit here — the oak notes in Clase 1111 Reposado complement the agave syrup and mole bitters common in this modern classic.
• Tequila Sour: The honey and spice character stands up to fresh citrus juice and egg white, creating a richer, rounder cocktail.
