La Gritona Reposado Tequila

A distinctive tequila distilled by Melly Cardenas at her small distillery in the iron-rich soil of the Jalisco highlands. Made from mature agave cultivated at the height of its sugar production, it is baked within 24 hours of being cut, spends 24 hours in earthen ovens, and is rested for 24 hours before crushing. It is fermented, twice distilled, and rested in reused American whiskey barrels (jack Daniels and Balcones) for 6 months. Bottles are hand blown with recycled glass in Guadalajara.

La Gritona is paler than the average reposado. The taste is very herbaceous and vegetal, with none of the typical vanilla, oak or pepper. The finish is extremely soft with no burn. This is a tequila that is meant to be enjoyed neat, or alongside a cold cerveza.
