Mijenta Symphony Series No. 2 Reposado Tequila – 90 Proof (45% ABV) | 750ml

Complex, expressive, and centered around an innovative approach to barrel maturation, Mijenta Symphony Series No. 2 Reposado Tequila explores how different varieties of American oak can shape the character of mature Highlands agave. Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this distinctive reposado matures for approximately 8 months in specially constructed Symphony barrels made with oak staves sourced from Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Process & Aging

Mijenta Symphony Series No. 2 begins with fully mature Highlands agave, providing the foundation for an expression designed to showcase both agave terroir and barrel influence.

The defining feature of the Symphony Series is its unique approach to cask construction. Rather than relying on oak from a single source, Mijenta's Symphony barrels are composed of oak staves from Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Together, these different woods create what Mijenta describes as a complex ecosystem within the barrel, continuously influencing the tequila as it matures.

The tequila spends approximately 8 months in these distinctive Symphony barrels before being bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof). The maturation complements the character of the Highlands agave with notes of vanilla, coconut, fruit, and spice.

What Makes It Special

The defining characteristic of Mijenta Symphony Series No. 2 is the construction of the barrels themselves.

Each Symphony barrel incorporates oak from four different American states—Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Instead of showcasing the influence of a single oak source, Mijenta brings these different wood varieties together within one barrel, allowing their individual characteristics to interact throughout maturation.

Over approximately eight months, the tequila evolves within this distinctive environment, developing additional vanilla, coconut, fruit, and spice while maintaining the terroir and cooked-agave character of Mijenta's fully mature Highlands agave.

At 90 proof, Symphony Series No. 2 also offers greater intensity and structure than a standard 80-proof tequila, allowing both its agave and barrel-derived characteristics to remain expressive.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a tequila tasting glass to appreciate the interaction between Highlands agave and the four-source oak maturation.

Allow the tequila several minutes to rest after pouring to reveal its layers of cooked agave, banana, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, almond, mint, cardamom, and clove.
