One of the only major Tequila brands still produced as an estate-bottled product, Tequila Partida is made from 100% blue agave for a clean. smooth, and exceptionally pure taste.

Partida Reposado is aged for six months in American oak barrels and has a richness, which can be savored like a fine Cognac, with just a hint of sweetness.
