Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Los Altos (Highlands), Jalisco, Mexico  |  Aged 6–8 Months in Oak  |  Distillery: Casa San Matías (NOM 1103)

Production & Heritage

Corazon Reposado is produced entirely on a single estate at Casa San Matías distillery, designated NOM 1103, in the highland region of Jalisco known as Los Altos. Hand-harvested Blue Weber Agave is slow-cooked in traditional clay ovens, fermented using a proprietary yeast blend, and double distilled before resting for six to eight months in hand-selected American or Canadian oak barrels. The single-estate approach — where every stage from agave cultivation to bottling occurs at one facility — gives the distillery complete control over flavor consistency, and the finished spirit contains zero additives.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh agave nectar opens the nose, followed by layers of green grass, thyme, and cedar. Deeper inhalation reveals praline sweetness, lemon thyme, grilled pepper, and a thread of honeycomb.

Taste: The entry is rich and earthy, with cooked agave meeting soft vanilla and marcona almond at the mid-palate. As the sip develops, herbal tones of fresh thyme interweave with caramel and toasted oak, creating a balanced interplay between sweet and savory elements.

Finish: Medium in length, the finish rolls gently through coconut shavings, spiced nuts, and cigar box. It closes with mineral-driven wet stone and a subtle white pepper warmth that lingers without heat.

How to Drink Corazon Reposado

The complexity here rewards sipping neat at room temperature or with a single ice cube to open the herbal and vanilla layers. For cocktails, the earthy backbone and moderate oak influence make it a versatile reposado:

• Paloma — The grapefruit and soda amplify the green, herbal character of the agave while the oak provides weight.
• Oaxaca Old Fashioned — Substituting Corazon Reposado for the tequila component pairs its vanilla and praline sweetness with bitters and a mezcal rinse.
• Tequila Sour — Citrus and egg white highlight the almond and honeycomb notes rather than masking them.

Best For

• Introducing a tequila-curious friend to sipping-quality reposado
• Building a highland-versus-lowland tequila tasting flight
• Gifting an agave spirits enthusiast who values additive-free production
• Upgrading weekend Palomas with a reposado that holds its own against citrus and soda

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Corazon Reposado taste like? Corazon Reposado leads with earthy cooked agave and soft vanilla, supported by marcona almond, fresh herbs, and a hint of caramel. The finish carries spiced nut, coconut, and gentle white pepper warmth.

How does Corazon Reposado compare to Herradura Reposado? Both are 100% agave reposados from Jalisco, but Corazon leans more herbaceous and earthy from its highland terroir and single-estate production, while Herradura tends toward a richer, sweeter oak profile due to its longer standard aging period of up to 11 months. Corazon also carries a zero-additive designation, which appeals to purists.

Is Corazon Reposado good for sipping neat? Yes — the balanced 40% ABV and layered tasting profile of vanilla, herbs, and toasted oak make it well-suited for neat sipping. A single ice cube can further soften the oak tannins and open up the agave and almond notes.

Where is Corazon Reposado made? Corazon Reposado is distilled at the Casa San Matías distillery (NOM 1103) in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The entire production process, from agave harvesting to bottling, takes place on this single estate.

What foods pair well with Corazon Reposado? Grilled shrimp tacos complement the herbal and pepper notes. Aged Manchego cheese echoes the almond and toasted character. Mole negro bridges the earthy, spiced complexity. Roasted corn with cotija and chile amplifies the agave sweetness. Dark chocolate with sea salt mirrors the praline and mineral finish.

What sizes does Corazon Reposado come in? The standard bottle size is 750ml, which is the most widely available format for this expression.

Is Corazon Reposado worth the price? Corazon Reposado positions as a mid-range reposado that punches above its price tier, particularly given its World's Best Tequila recognition at the 2021 World Tequila Awards and its additive-free, single-estate production. It competes favorably with reposados that cost considerably more.

Why Corazon Reposado?

The single-estate model at Casa San Matías is a genuine differentiator — controlling every step from agave field to sealed bottle is uncommon at this price point. Winning World's Best Tequila at the 2021 World Tequila Awards and earning Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition confirms the liquid quality behind that approach. The zero-additive commitment and highland terroir produce a reposado with real agave character rather than one that leans entirely on barrel sweetness. For anyone building a tequila collection or simply seeking a versatile, honest reposado, this expression earns serious consideration.
