When you age alcohol in wood, it of course takes on the properties of the wood. But what about when you age it in glass? Some experts say no. But experts aren't always right … right? We offer our amateur take in this contentious episode of Agave Road Trip!

This episode of Agave Road Trip is brought to you by Sombra Mezcal and their new reposado expression, Sombra Reposé. Sombra Reposé is a first-of-its-kind reposado made with Sombra's award-winning Joven mezcal, aged in Bordeaux wine barrels. Sourced from the historic and renowned Château Léoville Poyferré, a second growth wine estate in St Julien, France, the barrels are filled with Sombra's Joven mezcal and aged for up to six-months. Enjoy Sombra Reposé by sipping it straight or try it in your favorite cocktails
