In this video, I review Hiatus Tequila Reposado, a standout tequila crafted at NOM 1137 – La Cofradía, S.A. de C.V., ranked #87 of 147 distilleries in Mexico. Hiatus Tequila was founded by Kristopher DeSoto and partnered with Michael Chandler, the American MMA fighter who actually invested in the brand — not just endorsed it. Together, they’re redefining what a celebrity tequila can be: authentic, additive-free, and made with respect for traditional Mexican craftsmanship.

This Hiatus Tequila review breaks down the aroma, flavor, and finish of the Reposado, aged 6 months in reclaimed American whiskey barrels. Expect notes of caramelized agave, roasted red pepper, cinnamon, hazelnut, and vanilla — all silky smooth from start to finish.

I also sat down with Brett Glaze, partner at Hiatus, to talk about their mission, NOM 1137’s production methods, and how this team keeps authenticity front and center.
