About this bottle

Produced in the USA, Tailwinds Rested Agave Spirit is made from organically grown Weber Blue Agave nectar. The agave is sourced from the northern hills of Guadalajara, Mexico, and then transported to the distillery in Plainfield, Illinois. Following a slow 12-day fermentation, the spirit undergoes distillation in small batches using a pot/column still. Tailwinds Rested is aged for at least 14 months in American oak barrels that previously held Buffalo Trace bourbon. It is released and bottled one barrel at a time every 4 to 6 months.

Why there's no score

We have 2 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
