Paladar Tequila Reposado is one of the most interesting additive-free tequilas I’ve tasted lately. Produced at the legendary El Llano Distillery NOM 1109 by Eduardo Orendain Jr., this reposado blends old-school tequila production with modern craftsmanship and experimental thinking.
In this review, I break down the production process, flavor profile, fermentation methods, aging, and why Paladar Reposado feels different from a lot of reposados on the market today. From open-air pine fermenters and wild yeast fermentation to volcanic soil-dipped bottles and balanced ex-bourbon barrel aging, this tequila has a ton of character.
I also recently interviewed Paladar co-founder Pete Nevenglosky, and after learning more about the philosophy behind the brand, this tequila makes even more sense in the glass.
