Laelia Reposado is crafted from 100% mature Blue Weber agave, tahona-crushed and distilled in handcrafted copper pot stills before resting 4–6 months in French white oak barrels. The French oak imparts elegance without overshadowing the vibrant agave character, resulting in a refined, modern reposado.
