Cactus Reposado

Dry Land Distillers releases limited bottles of barrel-aged Cactus spirits each year. Our Cactus Reposado is aged between 3 - 12 months. Barrel aging in new or used whiskey barrels creates a gorgeous spirit that is reminiscent of earthy, peaty scotch - yet completely unique.  Our Reposado releases are ideal for crafting smoky old fashioneds, negronis, and cocktails where you'd expect to use a high-quality aged mezcal or tequila. This spirit are single barrel releases, typically between 82 and 88 proof depending on the barrel.
