$51.99
La Gritona Reposado is an additive-free highland tequila made by master distiller Melly Barajas and her all-women team at their small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco (NOM 1533). Where many reposados taste mostly of the barrel, La Gritona is pale, crisp and agave-forward, the kind of tequila agave fans go looking for.
How La Gritona Is Made
- Mature agave: 100% blue Weber agave harvested at 8 to 10 years old from the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands
- Slow cooking: steamed in thick-walled earthen ovens, then naturally fermented in open vats
- Double distilled and rested in reused American whiskey barrels, which soften the spirit without masking the agave
La Gritona Reposado Tasting Notes
Herbaceous and vegetal, with citrus, cooked agave and clean minerality. It skips the heavy vanilla, caramel and oak common in reposados and finishes smooth and round, with the crispness of a great blanco.
