Sauza Hacienda Reposado (Gold) 700ml

Don Cenobio Sauza founded the house in 1873. Hacienda is the house’s value range. This reposado is a mixto, meaning it is made from at least 51% blue agave sugars rather than 100% agave, and it is rested in ex-bourbon oak casks before bottling. The rest takes the edge off the young spirit and gives it its golden colour, along with light vanilla and caramel notes. Sauza cooks its agave using a diffuser, a modern method that extracts the sugars before cooking, which gives a clean, light style. The (Gold) on the label simply tells you it is the rested, coloured version, as opposed to Sauza’s clear silver tequila.

This is a bottle for mixing and casual nights. Use it in a Margarita with fresh lime and orange liqueur, a Tequila Sunrise with orange juice and grenadine, or simply over ice with lemonade or cola and a wedge of lime. For shots, chill it first and serve with salt and lime. It goes with chicken fajitas, nachos, barbecued meats and smoky, spicy food. A 700ml bottle covers around 15 cocktails at a 45ml pour, which makes it a practical choice for a barbecue or party. If you want a tequila to sip on its own, step up to a 100% agave reposado. A dependable, good-value tequila to keep in the cupboard for mixed drinks.
