Tequila El Jimador Reposado: Mexican authenticity in every sip
Tequila El Jimador Reposado is a true expression of the Mexican spirit, crafted from 100% blue agave and patiently aged in American oak barrels. This reposado captures the perfect balance between the freshness of freshly cooked agave and the smooth, woody nuances that only time in oak can provide. At Licorea, we have chosen this tequila for its honest character, recognised quality, and versatility — equally fitting for moments of celebration or quiet reflection.
Origins and artisanal craftsmanship
El Jimador Reposado is produced in the renowned region of Amatitán, Jalisco, the birthplace of authentic tequila. Its name pays tribute to the traditional craft of the jimador, the skilled harvester who expertly cuts the agave hearts, or piñas, selecting only the ripest plants. After slow cooking in brick ovens, the extracted juice is naturally fermented and double distilled in copper stills. The tequila then rests for two months in American oak barrels, acquiring a bright golden hue and exceptional smoothness.
The soul of a versatile reposado
This reposado tequila offers the perfect combination of the youthful energy of fresh agave and the calm maturity imparted by time in oak. It is equally enjoyable neat or on the rocks, and serves as a refined base for classic cocktails such as the Margarita or Paloma. Its balance also makes it a superb companion for white meats, grilled fish or aged cheeses, where its gentle oak tones enhance the flavours without overpowering them.

El Jimador belongs to Casa Herradura, one of Mexico’s most respected distilleries, founded in 1870 and known for preserving traditional methods while maintaining modern quality standards. Its commitment to authenticity and respect for the land have earned it international recognition and a strong reputation among tequila lovers worldwide. El Jimador Reposado upholds this legacy, blending heritage and modernity in a bottle that truly represents the essence of Mexican tequila.
