Tenth Ward Bottle Club Release: Reposado Tequila
Written by Monica Pearce, Boss Lady
When a distillery friend closed up shop, we rescued a batch of their tequila—because that’s what friends (and tequila lovers) do! We brought it home, gave it new life and imparted our own little Tenth Ward twist to it.
How it’s Made
This particular Tequila starts with blue weber agave, harvested, roasted, and distilled. Tequila must always be distilled in Jalisco, Mexico, which is where this delicious spirit originated from.
It traveled from agave fields to Maryland, where, naturally, we gave it the Tenth Ward treatment—resting it in our smoked bourbon barrels. The result? A bold, earthy, one-of-a-kind reposado.
The most important question to ask – why haven’t we done this before?!
Tasting Notes
Hints of mezcal on the nose without the full smoke show. Subtle, refined oak and complex forest/earth, finishing with a clean and naturally sweet agave note.
Thanks for reading, and please keep loving the fun stuff!
