Cutwater Spirits Rayador Tequila Reposado

Cutwater Rayador Tequila Reposado is the aged expression in the Rayador lineup — the same 100% Blue Weber Jalisco agave blanco production, then aged in Cutwater’s own whiskey barrels from the San Diego distillery, producing a distinctively Cutwater reposado where the agave character melds with the vanilla and oak influence of American whiskey barrels rather than the standard used bourbon barrels most tequila producers source externally.Aging tequila in the distillery’s own whiskey barrels is unusual and consequential — the barrels carry the specific character of Cutwater’s own whiskey aging program, producing flavor transfer that reflects what Cutwater whiskey leaves behind in the wood rather than what a commercial bourbon barrel supplier provides.
