Solento Organic Reposado Tequila

Solento is the USDA certified organic tequila founded in 2019 by Taylor Steele, the surf filmmaker from Encinitas, who fell for sipping tequila in New York and went to Mexico to find a source, settling on a Tequila Valley distillery with more than six decades of history, NOM 1480. The name joins the Spanish words for sun and slow. It is made in small batches from certified-organic single-estate blue Weber agave harvested at seven years, cooked in brick ovens, roller-milled, fermented open-air in stainless steel, and double distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils. The Reposado rests nine months in American oak barrels and is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a minimalist 750ml bottle. Solento describes it as slightly sweet, with homemade caramel, cooked agave and a soft amber warmth; Caskers adds citrus, vanilla and fruit over the caramel, fresh and crisp with a smooth finish, and it took a silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Nine months is long for a reposado, so expect more wood than the category minimum, but the agave still leads. Sip it neat, or use it for a Paloma that actually tastes like something.
