The Story Behind Cenote Tequila Reposado
Named after the cenotes of Mexico—natural sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water that the Mayans believed were sacred—Cenote Tequila embodies the purity and spirit of these revered locations. This tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the rich volcanic soils of Jalisco, Mexico, ensuring a superior foundation for its exceptional quality.
Cenote Tequila Reposado is aged in American oak barrels for three months, which imparts subtle notes of wood and spice while allowing the vibrant agave flavors to shine. The result is a tequila that is smooth, complex, and deeply satisfying.

Craftsmanship and Quality
Cenote Tequila Reposado is a product of meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality. The process begins with the careful selection of mature blue Weber agave plants, which are hand-harvested to ensure only the best are used. The agave hearts, or piñas, are slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens to develop their natural sweetness before being crushed to extract their juice.
The fermentation process uses proprietary yeast to maintain the integrity of the flavors, and the distillation process ensures the tequila is pure and smooth. Aging in American oak barrels for three months rounds out the flavors, creating a perfect balance of agave, wood, and spice.
