Sangre de Vida Tequila Reposado 70 cl 55%

A heart-shaped bottle with sharp edges, a proof that stands out from the crowd, and a tequila that isn't afraid to flex some muscle.

Expert Description

Sangre de Vida Tequila Reposado is a Mexican Reposado Tequila made from 100% agave and bottled at 55%.

The name means blood of life, and behind the bottle is the Sangre de Vida brand, which makes its tequila from 100% blue Weber agave. The agave is cooked in traditional brick ovens, pressed, and the sweet must is triple distilled for extra purity. The tequila then rests for around 3 months in French Limousin oak barrels before being bottled at an unusually high strength for a reposado.
