Our Review
Lunazul Reposado is made in Mexico from 100% Blue Weber agave, but its Kentucky story is real. The brand sits in the portfolio of Heaven Hill Brands, which is headquartered in Bardstown, Kentucky — and the reposado is rested for six months in Kentucky bourbon barrels.
To be precise about it: the tequila itself is not produced in Kentucky, and it could not legally be. What is Kentucky about this bottle is the ownership and the wood. Barrels that once held Kentucky bourbon go on to shape a tequila, and you can taste the handoff.
In the glass that means agave first, then oak, vanilla and a light pepper heat that lands somewhere familiar to anyone who drinks wheated bourbon. It is the bottle we hand to a bourbon drinker who says they do not like tequila, because it speaks their language before it asks them to learn a new one.
Why We Picked It
Kentucky is bourbon country, which makes Lunazul Reposado particularly interesting here. The spirit starts in Jalisco but spends its maturation in barrels connected to Kentucky's defining spirits tradition, and it does it at a price that makes experimenting easy.
