Tequila Olmeca Altos Reposado, balance between agave and oak
Tequila Olmeca Altos Reposado is one of the most widely recognised quality reposado tequilas. A spirit that focuses on respect for agave, tradition and a well-defined production process, designed both for sipping and for high-quality cocktail making.
At Licorea, we consider it a very honest tequila within its category. It does not seek excess or forced profiles. Its aim is to showcase blue agave character with just the right contribution from oak, maintaining balance, freshness and authenticity.
Blue agave from the Highlands of Jalisco
Olmeca Altos Reposado is made exclusively from 100% Weber blue agave, grown in the Highlands of Jalisco. This higher-altitude region offers ideal conditions for developing sweeter, more aromatic agaves.
The use of mature, carefully selected agave is one of the pillars of this tequila, resulting in a clean, expressive spirit with a clear base of cooked agave.
Traditional production and barrel resting
One of the defining features of Olmeca Altos is its combined use of traditional and modern methods. The agave is cooked and partly crushed using a volcanic stone tahona, a classic technique that helps preserve aromas and nuances.
After distillation, the tequila rests for several months in oak barrels. This resting period adds smoothness, structure and warm notes from the wood, without masking the natural character of the agave.
The result is a well-balanced reposado tequila, where barrel ageing complements and rounds the spirit rather than dominating it.
How to enjoy Tequila Olmeca Altos Reposado
This tequila works very well neat, served at room temperature or slightly chilled, allowing its nuances and balance to be fully appreciated.
It is also an excellent base for classic cocktails such as the Margarita or Paloma, offering greater depth than a blanco tequila while retaining freshness.
Thanks to its versatility, it is highly valued by both tequila enthusiasts and bartenders looking for a reliable, well-crafted reposado.
A reposado true to the spirit of agave
Within the category of 100% agave reposado tequila, Olmeca Altos Reposado stands out for its balance and its respectful approach to the raw material.
At Licorea, we recommend it to those who value agave as the protagonist, seek an easy-drinking reposado and appreciate well-applied traditional methods.
A versatile, authentic and clearly defined tequila, equally suited to sipping and quality cocktail making.
