Tequila Tapatio Reposado
SKU
TAPTR1
Hello, Tequila Tapatio!
After 75 years of distilling in Arandas and sales across Mexico, the venerable Tapatio Tequila has arrived in the US.
YES - it's the same Tequila Tapatio you met & loved in Mexico!
Distiller Carlos Camarena has developed cult like status with Tequila lovers with the quality and integrity of his hard to obtain Tapatio brand. It stands alone with its pure classic flavor profile of 100% Blue Agave Tequila from the highlands.
Why is it so loved? Tapatio sets the bar for the old authentic flavor that is disappearing in modern Tequilas. Respected author, Robert Plotkin, of Bar Media and a respected Tequila writer, wrote: “Wow, Tapatio...I'm already salivating”.
The Camarena Family distills 100% estate grown blue agaves. Many know the family distillery through El Tesoro and other custom Tequilas. Charbay’s father and son team distilled their Tequila there. That’s the friendship that brought Tapatio to America.
True Tequila aficionados and star bartenders make the trek to Camarena’s La Altena Distillery in Arandas as a right of passage into the old Tequila world. Enlightened by Tapatio’s intriguing flavor profile, many tried to find a way to get it in the US. It took the friendship & trust of two distilling families to make it happen.
Charbay Distillers is the exclusive USA Importer of the Tapatio brand.

Hadley Tomicki wrote recently in Grub Street / L.A.
Drink.Eat.Play's cocktail classic was staged last Friday in Downtown L.A., giving... attendees a glimpse at newfangled spirits...
... what really blew our minds was the ground-breaking meld of craft beer and whiskey in what St. Helena's coveted Charbay distillery calls its "hop whiskey."
The product, which will soon see release under the name "R5 Aged Whiskey," is basically whiskey made through the distillation of, not of grain nor fruit, but Healdsburg-based Bear Republic's famed Racer 5 IPA.
The beer is distilled in double copper alambic charentais pots 24 hours a day for nine days straight before being aged for 22 months in French Oak. The result offers a definite whiskey taste profile with clear notes of hops, fruit, and malt when sipped.
Distiller Marko Karakasevic, who started such experimentation with a pilsner-fueled light whiskey for Charbay nearly fourteen years ago, says he used 6,000 gallons of Racer 5 to produce 590 gallons of the spirit. Karakasevic is also working on a version using Bear Republic's stout, and is releasing a new tequila under the name Tapatio (unfortunately, without Tapatio hot sauce) and vodkas infused with blood orange and Meyer lemon.
The biggest challenge will most likely not be in handling this 99-proof R5 Aged, but of course, finding it. A source at Charbay tells us the product is bottled and currently awaiting its labels for a release nationwide (depending on the state) in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, check out Charbay's website for more info.
