A thoughtfully selected single-barrel tequila offers a rare opportunity to experience agave with nuance, texture, and individuality. This Suerte Single Barrel Reposado | “French Kiss” Private Selection delivers exactly that. Bottled above standard proof and drawn from a single barrel finished in French oak, this release balances expressive agave character with restrained, elegant barrel influence.
Produced by Suerte Tequila, this pick leans into finesse rather than sweetness, allowing both the agave and the barrel to speak clearly without overshadowing one another.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Bright cooked agave up front, followed by soft vanilla, citrus peel, and white pepper. Subtle floral notes and light oak spice emerge with time, alongside hints of honey and fresh herbs.
Palate
Silky and composed. Sweet agave remains the backbone, layered with vanilla cream, light caramel, and gentle baking spice from the French oak. The elevated proof adds structure and weight without introducing harshness, allowing the tequila’s natural sweetness and minerality to remain intact.
Finish
Clean, elegant, and moderately long. Lingering agave sweetness fades into soft oak, citrus oil, and a touch of spice, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
Best Way to Enjoy It
This is a tequila that rewards attention.
Neat: Best for appreciating the full agave expression and subtle barrel influence.
With a few drops of water: Opens additional floral and citrus notes while softening the oak.
In a spirit-forward cocktail: Excellent in a refined Reposado Old Fashioned or an elevated Margarita where nuance matters.
Ideal for sipping, slow conversation, and tequila drinkers looking beyond standard reposado profiles.
Why This Pick Stands Out
This Suerte Single Barrel Reposado was chosen for its precision and restraint. The French oak finish adds texture and elegance without masking the agave, while the higher proof delivers presence without aggression. It’s a standout example of how single-barrel tequila can offer the same depth and individuality bourbon drinkers seek; making it a compelling crossover bottle for whiskey enthusiasts and agave purists alike.
