Tequila Jalisco Mi Familia - Flores

Tequila Reposado Flores from the Mi Familia distillery is a remarkable expression of Jalisco’s deep-rooted tradition in tequila making. Crafted exclusively from 100% Blue Weber agave cultivated in the heart of Jalisco, this tequila stands out for its unique four-year aging process—a span significantly longer than the typical reposado, edging into the complexity of an añejo. The agave is carefully harvested, then cooked and fermented using traditional methods before undergoing double distillation in copper pot stills, which helps preserve the natural flavors and aromas. Maturation occurs in American oak barrels, where the spirit slowly develops a beautifully balanced character, acquiring warm notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, and delicate floral undertones that truly reflect its name, “Flores.”

Savoring Tequila Reposado Flores can be done in various ways. Thanks to its rich and smooth profile, it’s delightful when sipped neat, allowing you to appreciate the layered aromatics and depth. If you wish to explore cocktails, consider a sophisticated twist on the classic Old Fashioned by replacing whiskey with this reposado, or a Margarita that gains extra complexity from the floral and oaky notes—it pairs particularly well with citrus and herbal accents. For a culinary journey, try pairing the tequila with grilled seafood, roasted pork, or dishes featuring mole; the tequila’s warmth will cut through rich flavors while harmonizing with spices and herbs. As an appetizer, a plate of aged Manchego or a citrus ceviche will also complement the vibrant agave notes.

To fully appreciate Tequila Reposado Flores, serve it at a slightly cool temperature—between 16-18°C. This range enhances the complexity without muting the aromatics. Pour it into a wide-mouthed glass and allow it to aerate for a few minutes before sipping, as gentle exposure to air opens up new layers of aroma and flavor. Dilution is not necessary; savor it neat to experience its craftsmanship at its best.
