Nulu™ Reposado is a unique and exquisite spirit that combines the best of two worlds: Mexico and Kentucky. This exceptional spirit is made from 100% Blue Agave, sourced from Mexico, and then aged in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels. The result is a truly remarkable tequila that is “Born in Mexico and Raised in Kentucky!”
The journey of Nulu™ Reposado begins in Mexico, where the Blue Agave plants are grown and harvested. Blue Agave is a type of succulent plant that is native to Mexico and is used to produce tequila. The plants are carefully selected and harvested by skilled farmers who have generations of experience in cultivating agave.
Once the Blue Agave plants are harvested, they are taken to the distillery where the tequila-making process begins. The hearts of the agave plants, known as piñas, are cooked in traditional stone ovens to extract the sweet juices. The cooked piñas are then crushed and the juice is collected for fermentation.
During fermentation, the natural sugars in the agave juice are converted into alcohol by the action of yeast. This process takes several days and is closely monitored to ensure the desired flavors and aromas are developed. Once fermentation is complete, the liquid is distilled to remove impurities and create a smooth and refined spirit.
But what sets Nulu™ Reposado apart is its aging process. After distillation, the tequila is carefully placed in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels for aging. These barrels, made from American white oak, have previously been used to age bourbon whiskey. This unique aging process imparts rich flavors and aromas into the tequila, creating a harmonious blend of Mexican and Kentucky influences.
The time spent in the bourbon barrels allows the tequila to develop a beautiful golden color and a complex flavor profile. The smooth and velvety texture of the tequila is enhanced by the notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, which are characteristic of bourbon whiskey.
The marriage of Mexican tequila and Kentucky bourbon is a truly delightful combination. It brings together the bold and vibrant flavors of Mexican agave with the smooth and refined characteristics of Kentucky bourbon. The result is a tequila that is truly one-of-a-kind and perfect for sipping or mixing in cocktails.
Nulu™ Reposado is a tequila that embodies the best of both Mexico and Kentucky. It is made from 100% Blue Agave sourced from Mexico and aged in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels, creating a unique and exceptional spirit. The process of aging in bourbon barrels adds depth and complexity to the tequila, resulting in a truly memorable drinking experience. So whether you're a tequila aficionado or a bourbon lover, Nulu™ Reposado is a must-try spirit that showcases the best of both worlds.
