Mashed Calls Cierto One of 2023’s “Best New Tequilas”

by Alex Darus, Mashed

Cierto Tequila has another top-shelf tequila with craftsmanship worth admiring. It's also a great bottle to gift someone for a special occasion. The brand's Private Collection Reposado is an 80-proof tequila that has been aged in French Limousin oak casks which previously held fine wine as well as Cognac and Armagnac brandies.

Cierto approaches making tequila in a similar manner to how Scotch whisky is made, as it's twice-distilled in copper pots and column stills. Most importantly, the brand is all about letting the rich agave flavor of the tequila shine through. 

Cierto Private Collection Reposado has a rich flavor that's reminiscent of good French butter. Tasting notes of caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla add to the all-encompassing experience.

Sip Tequila sells Cierto Private Collection Reposado for $130 a bottle as of April 2023, making it another bottle to add to your must-try list whenever the opportunity comes knocking.
