Gran Centenario Reposado Tequila

About Gran Centenario Reposado Tequila

A brand of authentic Mexican tequilas with a rich tradition, Gran Centenario tequilas have been crafted in small batches since 1857 in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Founded by tavern owner Lázaro Gallardo who began making 100% agave tequilas at Hacienda Los Camichines, a special procedure called Selección Suave™ is used during production, which was invented by Gallardo. Suave meaning ‘smooth’ in Spanish, Gallardo wanted to create the smoothest possible tequila by adding the richer, older and smoother reserves to the blend. Today, Gran Centenario is still family-owned with several generations passing down experience and knowledge to the next one. Even the bottle of Gran Centenario tequilas is still the same as it was in 1920 when it was designed by Gallardo's son who was inspired by the Art Deco style.

Part of their core range, Gran Centenario Reposado is made from 100% agave that need from 10 to 12 years to reach maturity before it’s harvested. Aged in charred, new French Limousin oak barrels anywhere between 2 months and up to 1 year, older tequila reserves are added to the expression during their signature S Selección Suave process. The result is a balanced and smooth palate of sweet cooked agave flavors, hints of oak, toasted almonds, clove and vanilla. Bottled at 80 proof, this authentic Reposado is best sipped on its own or in a cocktail, such as a Cantarito.
