La Gritona Reposado Tequila 375ml

MEXICO : JALISCO : LOS ALTOS (HIGHLANDS)

100% Blue Weber Agave

MED-BODIED, BAKED AGAVE, WILD HONEY, CITRUS, WARM SPICE, SUBTLE OAK

Melly Barajas Cárdenas has run the distillery at NOM 1533 in Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco since 1999 — one of the few female distillery owners in Mexico's spirits industry. The agave grows in the iron-rich Highland soils of Los Altos, harvested at 8–10 years of maturity. Steam-cooked 24 hours in brick hornos, naturally fermented in open steel vats for up to 12 days on wild yeast, then double-distilled in steel stills with copper coils.

After distillation, the spirit rests six months in heavily reused American whiskey barrels — Jack Daniel's and Balcones — long enough to add warmth and a light spice note, not long enough to redirect the agave. La Gritona's stated goal is a Reposado that still tastes like agave. The 375ml bottle is the brand's native format, built for the bar rail and the two-pour occasion.
