When Andrea Duran, Paloma’s mixologist, said we needed a rest, we had no idea what she meant. But she explained:
Resposado means “rest or rested” in Spanish, and refers to the oak-barrel aging process of two to 12 months before bottling tequila. An aging process of one to four years yields a tequila that is considered an Añejo. Golden oaky notes are prominent with a delicious and slightly tart finish.
A sip or two later and we felt rested indeed.
