La Gritona Reposado

La Gritona Reposado is a subtle and distinctive 100% blue agave tequila distilled by Melly Cárdenas at her small distillery (NOM 1533) in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. La Gritona begins with 9-10 year old mature agave grown in the rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands that has been cultivated at the height of it’s sugar production and is put into ovens within 24 hours of being cut, it then spends 24 hours in earthen ovens, and is rested for 24 hours before crushing. Naturally fermented, twice distilled, and rested in used American whiskey barrels for 8 months. 

The bottles are hand blown with recycled Mexican glass in the Guadalajara municipality of Tonolá.
