Don Pilar is a grower-producer distillery located in the Highlands (Los Altos) region of Jalisco. It’s named for its distiller, Don José Pilar Contreras Marquez, who grew up ranching, became a migrant worker in the US, returned to Mexico for ranching (and even got a bit part in a movie for it), and then opened his distillery, La Trasquila in 2001. The reposado is aged 6 months in virgin white oak with a no. 2 char, given a medium toast.
