Leonista Reposado Black

Reposado means ‘aged’ or ‘rested’ in Spanish. The flavour profile of the Reposado Black is less smokey than the current Reposado, delivering a taste that is closer to a tequila than a Mezcal. Rested for 6 – 8 months in old brandy, American oak barrels. Give this reposado a proper nosing and you’ll find notes of black Kalamata olives, meaty and saline, spiced black pepper with hints of menthol herbs, Japanese mint, eucalyptus, charred agave, misty with wood smoke.
Take a sip and you’ll be treated to a gentle oily mouthfeel of caramelised sugar, then Blanco spiked with a stick of 70% cocoa chocolate, seasoned salt and hints of that Karoo bushfire smoke on the lingering finish.
