Gran Centenario Rosangel Tequila

An angelic and gentle Tequila, infused with hibiscus flowers.

Many things have changed since tavern owner Lázaro Gallardo began crafting tequila in 1857 at Hacienda Los Camichines in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Not everything has, though – the Selleción Suave process he invented remains the same. What that might be, you wonder? Well, in Spanish, suave means smooth and Gallardo was the first Tequila Master Distiller to begin adding the richer, older and smoother tequila reserves to the blend to produce one that would be smoother than them all.

The business is still family-owned today with several generations passing the know-how down to the next one – what an incredible gene pool, right! Even the bottle you’ll get today, inspired by the Art Deco style, was designed by Lázaro‘s son Luciano back in 1920.

Gran Centenario Rosangel Tequila begins with their 100% agave Reposado Tequila. Already a complete artwork on its own, it’s then aged for 2 months in ex-Port casks. But what gives it that final, special touch – it’s naturally infused with hibiscus flowers. Bottled at 80 proof, Centenario’s Rosangel is your subtle and gracious flower-power muse, not an in-your-face, over-perfumed infusion. While definitely intriguing enough as an independent sipper, it’ll really blow your mind in a margarita.
