Which tequila is best for sipping?

The best tequila for sipping is a 100% agave reposado or añejo, because time in oak softens the spirit and adds vanilla, caramel and spice. Blanco can be sipped too, but it is brighter and less forgiving for newer drinkers.

Our guide to sipping tequila explains what to look for, and what is reposado tequila shows why reposado is the usual starting point. TROPA Reposado was built for this. It is 100% agave, produced at NOM 1412, and rested three months in American oak, with hazelnut, vanilla, oak, caramel and cinnamon and a smooth, rounded finish. Pour two ounces neat and give it a minute to open.

For a deeper, rarer pour, watch for the next TROPA Añejo release.
