It’s not a liqueur, or flavored tequila, or a coffee-infused spirit, it’s a extremely modern 100% agave reposado tequila that’s aged in oak barrels that have been conditioned with artisan-roasted natural espresso from Chiapas, Mexico, to impart a distinctively daring style and aroma naturally from the barrels.
