Reposados for your old fashioned, añejos to sip by the fire, and mezcals with some weight behind them.
Fall is when agave gets interesting. The bright, peppery blancos of summer step aside for reposados and añejos that have spent months or years in oak, picking up vanilla, caramel, baking spice and dried fruit along the way. Those are the same flavors that show up on the table this time of year: roasted squash, apple and pear, cinnamon, clove, brown butter, mole. Aged tequila doesn't just survive next to them. It meets them.
This collection is our cold-weather shelf: the reposados we reach for in an old fashioned, the añejos we pour neat next to the fire, and the bigger, wilder mezcals that bring smoke and earth to a margarita or a nightcap. Every bottle here is one we'd hand a friend.
Reposado (aged 2 to 12 months) is the all-rounder: enough oak to stir into an old fashioned, still lively enough for a spiced margarita. Añejo and extra añejo (1 year and up) are sipping tequilas, with deeper oak, dried fruit and chocolate notes. Mezcal made from wild agaves like cupreata, cuishe, tobalá and arroqueño brings more weight, smoke and mineral depth than everyday espadín.
Time in oak gives aged tequila vanilla, caramel, baking spice and dried fruit notes. Those line up with fall food and fall drinks: apple, pear, cinnamon, roasted squash, mole and anything with brown butter. Blancos are bright and peppery; aged tequilas are rounder and warmer, which is what most people want when it gets cold.
A reposado. It has enough oak to stand in for whiskey but keeps the cooked-agave flavor that makes the drink taste like tequila. Try 2 oz reposado, a quarter ounce of agave syrup, two dashes of Angostura and a dash of orange bitters, stirred over a big cube with an orange peel.
Smoke, earth and weight. Mezcal from wild agaves like cupreata or cuishe has more body and a bigger finish than most tequila, so it gives a margarita a backbone. Use it as the whole base, or split it half and half with tequila if you're new to mezcal.
It's the time in oak. Reposado rests 2 to 12 months, añejo 1 to 3 years and extra añejo 3 years or more. More time usually means more oak, more spice and a softer texture, and less of the fresh agave you taste in a blanco.
