Atanasio’s Origenes releases are an explicit homage to tequila as it was made over a hundred years ago. Bottled at a higher alcohol content than the Carranza family’s core offerings, these limited bottlings boast the kind of lactic and herbaceous profile that easily draws comparison to both historic tequila and mezcal producers alike. The first reposado from the series was aged nearly seven months in toasted American oak barrels and weaves warm baking spice and nutty oak through the green, herbal notes of Atanasio tequila.
