The success of Ghost Tequila's Blanco led to an all-new expression, Ghost Reposado, a premium aged 100% Blue Agave Reposado tequila with an infusion of ghost pepper.
"This launch marks a significant milestone in our journey and the spicy category," says Chris Peddy, CMO of Ghost Tequila. Targeting the premium consumer segment, Ghost Reposado blends six-year-old mature agave sourced from highlands and lowlands, which are then slow-cooked in brick ovens and crushed to extract their juices. After resting for two to four months in American White Oak Pipones with a signature toast, the product is finished with a pinch of ghost peppers to add depth, perfectly balanced sweet and spicy flavors and smoothness without the burn.
Ghost Reposado is ready to be enjoyed in everything from espresso martinis to old fashioned cocktails.
