About Lunazul Reposado
Lunazul is a 100% blue agave tequila distilled at the Tierra de Agaves distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, with estate-grown agave from the area around the town of Tequila. The brand traces its roots to a long family tradition in the region and today is part of the Heaven Hill family of spirits. A reposado is a tequila that is rested in oak, and Lunazul’s is aged in former bourbon barrels, which gives it a touch of warmth and color while keeping the agave front and center. It is a dependable, well-made tequila that has earned its place as a go-to bottle.
Tasting Notes
Reposado tequila sits between the bright, peppery snap of a blanco and the deeper character of an anejo. Expect a smooth, rounded profile with cooked agave, a little vanilla and soft oak from the barrel rest, and a clean, mellow finish. It is approachable enough to sip slowly and balanced enough to carry a cocktail.
What to Pair It With
This is a natural with the bold flavors on the Sparrow dinner menu, from the Lamb Quesa-Birria Tacos to the Guajillo Chicken or a starter of Tuna Tartare. It also shines in a Margarita or our Juanita-Rita. Catch the daily happy hour from 3 to 5 PM ($3 off well drinks) and settle into the 21+ lounge.
