Up in the Jalisco Highlands, Destiladora Gonzales has been in production for more than 150 years, producing hand-made premium tequila under the esteemed El Mayor name.
Aged in white oak for a minimum of nine months, their reposado has developed an elegant structure, deep, balanced taste and divine smoothness. Baking spices, rich caramel and a herbal kiss layer up for a benchmark creation. It’s absolutely worth exploring it solo, but of course when it comes to tequila, the thought of a cocktail is never too far away. So, without further ado, let us introduce three simple yet stunning El Mayor reposado cocktails for you to try…
