The reposado is very pale in it’s color for a tequila with a 6 month barrel rest. They use same barrels over and over again to allow for them to become stripped of most of the residual oak, whiskey, and color. They like for barrel notes to be as stunted as possible in our tequila. Aging is intended only to soften and round out the blanco tequila from which La Gritona is derived, not to introduce new notes. The intention is to keep the verdant and crisp qualities of the original plant intact while still allowing it to age briefly in the oak. There is no use of copper stills or a tahona, and  do not diffuse or use an autoclave. The cooked agave is crushed with a steel mill and we distill our liquid in steel stills with copper coils. Every step of production takes place under one roof and our facility is overseen by a small staff of local women that work each process from start to finish.
