El Tesoro de Don Felipe Mundial Collection Aged in Basil Hayden Toast Edition Reposado Tequila is a remarkable expression that represents the convergence of two legendary spirits—Mexican tequila craftsmanship and the rich tradition of Kentucky bourbon. This limited-edition release from El Tesoro’s Mundial Collection features their signature 100% blue Weber agave Reposado tequila, aged in barrels that previously held Basil Hayden Toast, a uniquely mellow, toasted oak bourbon. The result is an exceptionally smooth and complex tequila that showcases the artistry of both tequila and bourbon.
On the nose, this reposado greets you with a captivating blend of toasted oak, vanilla, and sweet agave. The influence of the Basil Hayden Toast barrels is immediately evident, adding layers of caramelized sugar, subtle spice, and a hint of marshmallow to the rich agave base. Notes of citrus, roasted nuts, and light smoke emerge as you explore deeper, creating a complex and inviting aroma that hints at the unique fusion of flavors to come.
On the palate, El Tesoro Mundial Aged in Basil Hayden Toast Edition offers a luxurious and well-balanced flavor profile. The natural sweetness of the agave shines through, complemented by rich notes of vanilla, toffee, and a gentle hint of bourbon’s signature toasted oak. The toasted barrel imparts a smooth, warm character, with flavors of caramel, baked apple, and a touch of cinnamon adding depth. There’s a delightful harmony between the agave’s earthy, herbal notes and the sweet, smoky influence of the barrel aging, creating a tequila that is both complex and easy to sip.
The finish is long, smooth, and lingering, with the toasted oak and vanilla notes softly fading into a light spice and a hint of roasted agave. The influence of the bourbon barrels leaves a warming impression, enhancing the tequila’s natural richness without overpowering its essence.
Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water, El Tesoro de Don Felipe Mundial Collection Aged in Basil Hayden Toast Edition Reposado Tequila is a must-try for both tequila and bourbon enthusiasts.
