‘Reposado’ is by definition a hybrid ageing form particular and exclusive to spirits produced in Hispanic countries.

It is hybrid by nature of the fact that any Reposado spirit in any spirits category is actually “incompletely” aged for only a few months. This is done deliberately and by full intent, as such short ageing imbues a white spirit with a slight wood aroma. However, the spirit is still dominated by the raw material aroma prevalent in white, unaged spirits (in our case, blue agave). Consequently, ‘Reposado’ is neither a true white spirit nor a truly aged spirit, but a hybrid form of these two.‘The Reposado by Porfidio’ is fundamentally aligned with this approach, but slightly accommodates the taste to a less ethnically oriented market. This is achieved by ageing ‘The Reposado by Porfidio’ for eight months instead of the customary two months; hence it is labelled as Reposado “Extra”. All other product characteristics are identical to ‘The Anejo by Porfidio’.

‘The Reposado by Porfidio’ is distilled with state-of-the-art German Hollstein Alembic equipment.
‘The Reposado by Porfidio’ is classified as Reposado, but labeled as ‘Reposado Extra’ to highlight the 8 months vs. 2 months element.
