El Cristiano Reposado XR is a masterclass in dual-barrel aging, resting for 11 months across both ex-bourbon American oak and ex-red wine French oak barrels to produce a reposado tequila of remarkable depth and balance.

Crafted at Casa Tequilera de Arandas under NOM 1499 in the highland town of Arandas, Jalisco, this expression draws on the mineral-rich soils and cooler climate of Los Altos to develop a naturally sweet and complex agave character before a thoughtful two-barrel finishing process refines and elevates it further.

• Nose: Cooked agave leads with sweet baking spices, a hint of ripe fruit, vanilla, and caramel.
• Palate: Smooth in texture with a pleasing balance of sweetness, fresh fruit, and gentle spice.
• Finish: Slightly drying and sweet, with a clean and lingering close.

The El Cristiano Reposado XR shines in an Oaxacan Old Fashioned riff or a classic Tequila Sour, where its vanilla-caramel richness and fruit-forward character add depth without overwhelming the cocktail.

Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to appreciate the full range of its barrel-aged complexity. El Cristiano Reposado XR is a highland Jalisco tequila made from blue Weber agave grown in the Arandas region.
