A different kind of Reposado.

Coming from a small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in Jalisco, Mexico, La Gritona Reposado is a different kind of Reposado. For once, Melly Barajas only makes Reposado. Her team is a small staff of local women that are there every step of the working process which takes place entirely under one roof. They don’t use copper stills or a tahona. They give all of the agave remnants that are left over after production to local farmers that use it as cattle feed. Their bottles are hand blown with recycled Mexican glass in the Guadalajara municipality of Tonolá, an hour away from the distillery. A special place.

La Gritona Reposado Tequila is made from 9-10 Year Old agave that’s put into thick-walled earthen ovens where it’s steam cooked for 24 hours. After resting and crushing, it’s fermented naturally in open steel vats. Distilled twice, the Reposado rests for 8 months in ex-American Whiskey barrels that are charred very lightly.

It’s hard to describe La Gritona but you could say it’s light on the sweetness and despite it being a Reposado, the true essence of agave remains. The palate is herbaceous with agave notes that have not been too much “Whiskified”. This is a very vegetal tequila that retains the crispiness reminiscent of a silver Tequila yet it still manages to showcse subtle signs of Melly’s careful aging. The finish is extremely round with no burn. Sip this one straight with no ice, lime, salt, or mixer.

One of the smoothest tequilas around, absolutely delicious! Incredible that there's no burn in the aftertaste.

Easily my favorite affordable reposado tequila on the market. The story behind the production of the tequila is already cool enough that it is a must have, but for it to be also this wonderfully supple and smooth, I can't say enough how much I love this tequila. Notes of black and white peppercorn, beautiful notes of stewed agave, slight vanilla from the oak, and delicious vegetal notes to round it out. It's just as amazing in mixed drinks as it is sipping on the rocks.

One of my favorite tequilas to have on hand - smooth yet bright. Mixes well into a margarita or on its own.
