La Gritona
La Gritona Reposado is a highly acclaimed, 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila that stands out as a masterpiece of traditional, additive-free Mexican craftsmanship. Distilled under the expert eye of Melly Barajas at her woman-owned and operated distillery in Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco, this artisan Reposado tequila is celebrated for its clean, green, and uniquely light flavor profile. Unlike mainstream reposados that rely on heavy wood influence, La Gritona is aged for just 8 months in reused American oak barrels (originally containing whiskey). This subtle maturation process tames the spirit's sharp edges without masking the crisp character of the Highland agave. On the nose, it offers a refreshing and clean aroma of steamed agave, lemongrass, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied, revealing delicate notes of cooked agave, white pepper, and citrus zest, with just a whisper of oak vanilla. The finish is remarkably crisp and dry, lacking the sugary sweetness common in heavily manipulated tequilas. Housed in its instantly recognizable, hand-blown green glass bottle made from recycled Mexican glass, La Gritona is a favorite among eco-conscious consumers and tequila purists alike. It is an exceptional additive-free tequila that is perfect for sipping neat, pouring over ice, or elevating a clean, authentic Tequila cocktail like a traditional Mexican Mule or a minimalist Margarita.
