It's Tequila time. At last.

ALCTD will always keep a single barrel tequila expression on the shelf—because as we all know, if ALCTD is married to whisky, tequila is the mistress. The more serious question is which brand and expression makes the cut.

Anyone who shops agave with us knows that our outfit stands firmly behind additive-free tequilas. So, resident tequila nerds might pause when they see a Herradura selection. Herradura has never advertised itself as an additive-free brand, and for good reason: two of its core expressions do indeed contain trace amounts of glycerin and vanilla extract. However, that is not the case when it comes to their Double Barrel Reposado—a fact confirmed directly to the ALCTD crew while on the hunt for ALCTD’s Next Top Tequila.

So, what exactly is a “Double Reposado”? Having already selected nearly every style of tequila to date, this particular process intrigued the team. Simply put, it’s a double-oaked tequila: first aged for 11 months in used American bourbon barrels, then finished for an additional month in brand-new, toasted and charred oak casks. Untraditional? Sure, but that’s what ALCTD is all about.

In our quest to release a well-priced, delicious bottle versatile enough to sip neat or elevate your next margarita, The All Natty was born. This is a bottle built for anyone looking for a cleaner, crisper style of aged agave. It may be a fall release, but it’ll make you crave the sun the second it hits your lips.
