Siempre Tequila Reposado: A Toast to Patience, Passion, and Pure Craft
Siempre Tequila Reposado (100% Blue Weber Agave, 40% ABV) — A beautiful balance between freshness and maturity, this small-batch tequila bridges the vibrancy of unaged Plata with the sophistication of long-aged Añejo. Aged 2–4 months in charred American white oak vats, it delivers a smooth, golden expression of what modern Mexican craftsmanship tastes like when guided by tradition and heart.
With each sip, you taste the story of two founders who risked everything — Monica Sanita and Alex Lacroix — and turned a $9,000 dream into an internationally acclaimed brand. The word “Siempre” means “always,” and fittingly, there’s always a reason to celebrate with this tequila in hand.
From Jalisco’s Heart: A Labor of Love
To understand the beauty in Siempre Reposado, you have to start where it all begins — in the red clay soil of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is harvested at full maturity, its heart (the piña) slow-roasted in traditional stone ovens for days, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize gently. The result is a rich, roasted sweetness that defines the Reposado’s signature warmth.
Fermentation is where the magic deepens — Siempre employs a unique “Mozart Method,” where classical music is played during fermentation. Why? Because even yeast deserves a good symphony. Combined with a proprietary yeast blend of rum and champagne strains, this quirky technique creates a spirit layered with complexity — one that hums with harmony before it even hits the still.
Once distilled in small copper pot stills, the liquid rests in those charred white oak vats — just long enough to soften the edges, introduce warm vanilla, caramel, and spice, yet preserve the vibrant heart of blue agave. It’s an aging process guided not by numbers but by instinct — the kind of craftsmanship that can’t be automated or rushed. Monica once said she wanted Siempre to taste like “hope and hard work,” and somehow, it does.
The Art of Reposado: Between Youth and Wisdom
The Reposado (“rested”) stage of tequila is like the sweet spot between adolescence and maturity. Too young, and it’s all fire and sugar. Too old, and the oak dominates the conversation. Siempre nails the balance — its few months in oak transform it into something elegant yet lively, approachable yet deep.
Pour it neat and admire the pale golden hue — a sunbeam caught in a bottle. On the nose, you’ll find baked agave, vanilla, honey, and a hint of warm spice. The first sip is soft and rounded, with caramel sweetness blooming into cinnamon, pepper, and oak. As it lingers, a delicate nuttiness emerges, followed by a whisper of fruit — like baked apple or dried apricot. The texture is creamy, almost buttery, yet never heavy. It’s a tequila that glides rather than bites.
That’s the hallmark of true craftsmanship: complexity that feels effortless. It’s smooth enough to sip solo, refined enough to impress guests, and versatile enough to elevate your favorite cocktails — whether you’re making a top-shelf Margarita or a simple Tequila Old Fashioned. But honestly, it’s best enjoyed neat, with good company and a bit of laughter. After all, Siempre was built on moments like that.
For Those Who Appreciate Authentic Craft
Siempre stands apart in an industry crowded with celebrity-backed labels and mass production. This is additive-free tequila — no fake sweeteners, no coloring, no shortcuts. Everything about it is real. Even the bottle tells a story: hand-drawn roses on the label represent beauty born from struggle, inspired by Monica’s grandmother, who told her, “No skulls on the bottle — make it something beautiful.”
From the recycled glass bottle to the natural cork and agave-fiber labels, every element is crafted with care and conscience. This attention to detail reflects the heart of the brand — one that values integrity over hype, and substance over show. It’s not a celebrity tequila. It’s a people’s tequila — made by those who love the craft, for those who love to share it.
