Manuscrito Reposado High Proof - Chapter 4 Review
Produced at the same Destileria El Sabino as our high proof superlative Zumbador, this is something less-seen on the market: a high-proof reposado. Estate agave is cooked in brick ovens, extracted via roller mill, and open fermented with fibers, before being distilled in copper pots. It is then aged in ex-Chardonnay French oak barrels for over three months and bottled at 51.55 percent ABV. It’s bright on the nose with a palate leaning more toward bananas, baking spices, and brownies; very drinkable for the proof with little burn.
