La Gritona Tequila Reposado 750 ml
$46.99
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.

La Gritona Reposado Tequila is a subtle rested tequila distilled by Melly Barajas and her staff of women at her small distillery in Valle De Guadalupe, Jalisco (NOM 1533). Melly distills La Gritona with only agave plants that have matured, typically with an age of between 8-10 years, and all of our piñas must originate in the iron-rich red soil of the local Jalisco highlands. These agave plants are cultivated at the height of their sugar production, near the end of their life cycles. They are put into ovens within 24 hours of trimming. La Gritona IS and ALWAYS has been additive-free.
