Volans Reposado Tequila

Volans Reposado strikes a graceful balance between crisp highland agave character and subtle oak influence. With its short, refined barrel-resting and vibrant citrus-mineral core, it’s an excellent choice for both sipping neat and crafting elevated cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Volans is produced in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico — an area celebrated for high-altitude agave grown at around 6,800 ft. The tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, then rested in used American white-oak bourbon barrels for under one year to add complexity without registering as heavily oaked. The observant finishing allows the agave’s fresh fruitiness to remain prominent, while introducing gentle wood notes. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), the effort is additive-free and places emphasis on purity and terroir-driven flavor.

Critics Reviews

• One spirits reviewer noted that this reposado “allows the agave to shine through—light barrel notes give vanilla and caramel but the heart remains crisp agave and mineral.”

• Another tasting commentary described it as “rich and buttery on the palate, with subtle oak, cooked agave, minerality and a pepper-sweet finish” — highlighting the smooth transition from agave-core to barrel nuance.

• Industry observers commend the brand for blending high-altitude agave, spring/well water sourcing and short-rested ageing for a modern take on a reposado that is both approachable and refined.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Pale gold colour; aromas of fruity & earthy highland agave, with touches of oak, vanilla, cinnamon, clove and mineral dust.

• Palate: Medium body with buttery mouthfeel; notes of cooked agave, smooth caramel, stone fruit (pear/nectarine), mineral drive and a subtle oak presence. The finish carries gentle pepper and a mild sweetness. 

• Finish: Clean yet rich; sweet-agave layers fade into spice (black pepper), a hint of coffee or dark caramel, and mineral clarity from the highland origin.
