Grand Mayan Reposado is the Talavera-bottle tequila rested in oak — from the Amatitán distillery whose extra añejo a tequila.net taster called near perfection. Grand Mayan is made at Tequila Selecto de Amatitán, NOM 1459, in the valley town of Amatitán — the same distillery behind Calirosa — from 100% blue Weber agave, and every bottle is a Talavera ceramic hand-painted by artisans in Mexico City, so no two are alike. The Reposado is slow-cooked valley agave, double-distilled, rested in American oak for the reposado term, and bottled at 40% ABV in the painted ceramic. Long Island Lou calls the house’s bottles possibly the most beautiful hand-made and painted Talavera available, and the tequila a match for them. Expect a nose of cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel with a light oak spice, opening into a smooth, rounded, gently sweet palate of agave, honey, and baking spice with a warm, clean finish. Honest note: a decanter brand with a real distillery behind it — sweeter and softer than the enthusiast bottles, and the reposado for the drinker who wants the Talavera on the bar and a reposado Margarita in the glass. For a reposado Margarita, on the rocks, or neat. The Talavera, rested.
