Review: Milagro Reposado Tequila
Milagro Reposado Tequila was launched in 1998 by college friends and Mexico City natives Danny Schneeweiss and Moy Guindi who shared a passion for tequila. Working with Master Distiller Pedro Juarez they created the Milagro brand. William Grant & Sons acquired the distillery and brand in 2006. Milagro is made from 100% blue agave grown in the Highland region. The timmed pinas are slow roasted for 36 hours in traditional brick ovens. Once cooled the pinas are shredded and pressed. The juice is fermented for 36 hours in stainless steel tanks. The spirit is distilled in a pot still and then a column still. Once complete the tequila rests in American oak barrels for 2-4 months before bottling. The aroma leads with caramel and vanilla. Additional time brings out agave, cinnamon, and citrus notes. The sweet agave entry is joined by caramel and vanilla building to a cinnamon, agave, and caramel peak. It fades with vanilla and finishes with mineral, caramel and black pepper leaving a warm peppery sting with spicy cinnamon and citrus peel taste.
