El Tesoro Tequila Reposado Mundial Collection Basil Hayden Toast

Here’s where worlds converge in golden form—El Tesoro’s Mundial Collection teams up with Kentucky for one unforgettable sip. This limited-edition Reposado rests just under six months in Basil Hayden Toast bourbon barrels, toasted then flash-charred to coax out indulgent notes without erasing agave's signature voice. In the glass, it gleams like polished amber. It layers cooked agave with crème brûlée warmth, cinnamon tickles, and that unexpected toastiness that somehow feels both familiar and thrilling. It’s bold but balanced, theatrical but grounded.

Nose: Opens bright and complex—cooked agave blended with fresh cherries, baked red apple, apricot, light vanilla bean, caramel, brown sugar, confectionery sweets, nutmeg, and a whisper of toast.

Palate: A harmonious mash-up of cinnamon, confectionery sweetness, spicy white pepper, brown sugar, crème brûlée, dried fruits, honey, herbal notes, and a hint of lavender floral.

Finish: Sweet and dry, with a lingering grace that fades like a softly played chord.

Pair this toast-kissed delight with warm apple pie drizzled in crème anglaise—to echo that brûlée sweetness. Charred pork chops rubbed with cinnamon and brown sugar will replay the tequila’s spice and toast tones. Or try aged manchego cheese with quince paste—a savory-sweet duet that balances beautifully.
