Arette x The Tequila Report Single Barrel Reposado Review | Is It Worth Buying?

Arette x The Tequila Report Single Barrel Reposado Review | Is It Worth Buying? Is this the most unique Arette ever bottled? Today, I take a deep dive into the Arette x The Tequila Report Single Barrel Reposado, a limited-edition release with only 258 bottles produced. Crafted at El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109) by the Orendain family, this special reposado was aged for just under five months in a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon American oak barrel and bottled at 46% ABV. In this review, I discuss what makes this collaboration different from Arette's standard lineup, the story behind the barrel selection by Jay Baer and Maddie Jager, and how the barrel influences the tequila while preserving Arette's agave-forward character.
