La Gritona Reposado Tequila

Item # 37090 750mL

This exciting new tequila is made by Melly Barajas at her small distillery (NOM 1533) in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. La Gritona is made according to traditional methods. The team begins with perfectly ripened agave plants and take no shortcuts on their way to great tequila. The harvest is slow cooked in brick ovens and left to naturally ferment with ambient yeasts before being double-distilled in small pot stills. The new spirit is then aged for 8 months in old American oak barrels. The result is complex and brooding with notes of caramelized fruit, ginger, and pepper.

Staff Pick Notes

Melly Barajas has struck gold with this wonderful reposado following the most sustainable and additive free processes possible in its creation. Female owned and operated, and driven by the goal of showcasing the expressions of agave at its finest this collective has brought new life to a style that has become somewhat stagnant with the mass production inherent in the agave trade currently. The act of reutilizing the same American Oak casks with each batch has led to a wonderful softening of the base spirit without imparting any of the character the barrel might add otherwise. With a requirement of 8-10 years aging on each agave plant used, and focusing on harvesting at the ripest point, its hard not to recognize the love that goes into each bottle.
