Reposado mezcal is mezcal that is aged up to one year in an oak barrel, usually an ex-bourbon barrel. This is less time aging than an aejo mezcal (one to three years of aging) or extra aejos (three years or more).

While these examples do not have the finesse of an aejo mezcal, these are a step or two up in refinement and smoothness from a blanco mezcal and can be served neat or in a cocktail.
