Exploring the San Matías Tequila Collection

Each bottle of San Matías tequila showcases a unique character. Here’s a closer look at their distinguished expressions:

San Matías Blanco – Crisp and Pure Expression

Also known as San Matías Tequila Blanco or San Matías Blanco Tequila, this unaged tequila is bottled shortly after distillation. It delivers the purest flavor of blue Weber agave with vibrant citrus notes and a smooth, peppery finish — ideal for sipping neat or crafting a sharp margarita.

San Matías Reposado – Aged Smoothness

San Matías Reposado (also referred to as San Matías Tequila Reposado or Tequila San Matías Reposado) is rested for a minimum of six months in oak barrels, developing a mellow, golden hue. It balances agave sweetness with hints of vanilla, oak, and light spice, offering a smooth and approachable profile perfect for sipping or cocktails.

San Matías Añejo & Extra Añejo – Rich, Complex Character

San Matías Añejo is aged for at least 12 months, introducing rich caramel, dried fruit, and baking spice notes. The San Matías Extra Añejo, sometimes referred to as San Matías Extra Anejo, spends over three years aging in barrels, resulting in an ultra-premium spirit with deep complexity and a velvety mouthfeel. It’s a luxurious expression designed for connoisseurs.

What Makes San Matías Unique?
