THE TASTING ALLIANCE: “CIERTO IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN”

By The Tasting Alliance Team

CIERTO TEQUILA RESERVE COLLECTION REPOSADO

The 2024 Singapore World Spirits Competition has crowned Cierto Tequila Reserve Collection Reposado as the Best Reposado Tequila and Best Overall Tequila – a prestigious win for a brand that exemplifies excellence in craft tequila. This recognition solidifies Cierto Tequila’s place among the world’s finest tequilas, continuing to uphold its reputation for producing exceptional spirits with remarkable depth and complexity.

The Reserve Collection Reposado – now officially one of the world’s best – demonstrates the brand’s masterful aging process, bringing the perfect balance of agave freshness with a complex, oak-driven character. Cierto’s Reserve Collection Reposado is aged in French Limousin oak barrels, enhancing the natural qualities of the Blue Weber agave. The resulting flavor profile is nuanced and sophisticated, with a smooth, velvety texture that lingers on the palate.

Reposado tequila has evolved significantly, becoming a favorite among both seasoned tequila enthusiasts and new drinkers exploring the category. With a minimum aging requirement of two months but less than a year, reposados occupy a unique space between the crisp, vegetal brightness of a Blanco and the rich, oaky complexity of an añejo.

Winning Best Reposado Tequila and Best Overall Tequila at the Singapore World Spirits Competition is more than just an accolade for Cierto Tequila – it is a testament to their unwavering commitment to producing some of the finest tequila in the world.

CIERTO TEQUILA PRIVATE COLLECTION EXTRA AÑEJO

Extra Añejo tequila, aged for a minimum of three years, has risen in popularity as drinkers seek out deeper, more complex flavors. This category is known for its rich, oak-infused profiles and smooth finishes, often comparable to fine cognacs or aged whiskies. At the 2024 Singapore World Spirits Competition, Cierto Tequila Private Collection Extra Añejo claimed the title of Best Extra Añejo Tequila, further establishing the brand as a beacon of excellence in the ultra-premium tequila category.

On the nose, you’ll find roasted nuts and dried fruits, underscored by hints of creamy vanilla and honey. The palate is layered, starting with notes of caramelized agave and toffee that give way to spices like cinnamon and clove, all enhanced by the subtle smokiness imparted by the oak. The finish is long with lingering touches of dark chocolate and oak.

The title of Best Extra Añejo Tequila is a fitting accolade for Cierto Private Collection Extra Añejo, a tequila that perfectly embodies the art of long-term aging. With its impeccable balance of sweetness, spice, and wood, this spirit offers a drinking experience as refined as any premium aged liquor. For those seeking the ultimate expression of tequila craftsmanship, Cierto’s Private Collection Extra Añejo is truly in a league of its own.

With these new honors, Cierto has won one thousand nineteen (1,019) international medals and awards to date.
