Milagro Tequila Reposado

Milagro Tequila was founded in 1998 by two wide-eyed college friends who decided to take a chance and create a tequila that reflected the bright, vibrant, artistic world of Mexico City. To bring their vision to life, they sought out Pedro Juarez, one of the most distinguished Master Distillers in Mexico. For Pedro, creating a modern tequila meant taking full use of tradition – starting with the agave itself.

Milagro starts by selecting the finest ingredients to create the best possible end product. The blue agave used to make Milagro is grown in the Jalisco highlands (Altos de Jalisco), where the finest, sweetest blue agave in the world is cultivated.

The highlands are known for their red, mineral-rich soil, sun-filled days, and mountain-crisp nights, which allow the agave to grow large and full of sweet sugars. The agave used by Milagro is harvested in the traditional manner by jimadors at the peak of ripeness, at which point the agave are known to develop a better flavor of terroir.

The Master Distiller, Pedro Juarez, designed Milagro’s production process specifically to highlight the bright, fresh flavor of the agave. Milagro incorporates century-old methods of cooking agave – slow-roasting the agave piñas for an average cooking time of 36 hours using traditional brick ovens, to bring out the naturally bursting freshness and flavors of the agave.

After the agave piñas have been slow-roasted, they are then shredded and pressed to extract the sweet agave juice. This juice is then placed in stainless steel tanks for 72 hours where it is fermented into alcohol. This is longer than most tequilas, which allows for more development of flavors and aromas. Half science, half art, the fermentation process is closely monitored by Pedro.

At this point, the liquid process is compete and the aging begins. The amount of time with which the tequilas are aged determine what kind of tequila it will become.

Milagro Reposado is a 100% blue agave tequila which is rested in American oak barrels for 2 – 4 months. Every sip of Milagro Reposado delivers delicious notes of warm caramel and vanilla, and ends with surprising, yet subtle notes of spice.
