What's special about it?

Most Reposado Tequilas are either aged in white oak or bourbon barrels but Mi Campo is matured in French oak Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir barrels for three months.

As you might expect, this adds a wine funk to this Tequila making it somewhat unique.

How does it taste?

• Nose: Vanilla, chocolate, baking spice
• Palate: Baking spice, pepper, vanilla, agave
• Alcohol content: 80 proof (40% ABV)
• How to drink: Neat or rocks
• Similar to: Mi Campo Blanco

The initial aromas of this Tequila reveal hints of vanilla and chocolate, accompanied by subtle notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

When tasting, it delivers a combination of baking spices and black pepper, followed by the flavors of vanilla and agave.

The finish is long-lasting, with prominent agave flavors, a touch of oak spice, and a gentle bite that serves as a pleasant reminder of its Tequila nature, delivering a satisfying sip.

How did I review Mi Campo Reposado?

I run a pub and a liquor store, granting me extensive access to various spirits, in addition, I moonlight as an agave spirits distiller.

My evaluations include my insights and feedback from customers and patrons and Tequila expert opinions from Neil Coleman who has been for decades in the liquor business.

I also corroborate my views with online research to ensure accuracy.

Our ratings are determined primarily by four key factors: aroma, taste, finish, and value for money. While we do consider packaging, it is of lesser importance to us, as we prioritize the quality of the liquid inside over the aesthetics of the bottle.
