La Gritona Reposado Tequila, Mexico
Melly's Magic in a Bottle
Ah, La Gritona Reposado Tequila - where the spirit of Jalisco highlands meets the daring craft of Melly Barajas and her all-woman team. Nestled in the rich, iron-clad soils of Valle De Guadalupe, this reposado is a testament to patience and passion. Each agave, chosen only at the zenith of its sugar-rich life at 8-10 years, undergoes a transformation akin to alchemy.
From Earth to Elixir
Imagine agave hearts basking in earthen ovens for a full day, then resting, dreaming of their destiny. They're gently awakened and crushed, their essence naturally fermenting in open steel vats, dancing to the rhythm of the local climate. After an 8-12 day waltz, this liquid treasure is distilled not once but twice, capturing the soul of the agave.
A Barrel's Whisper
But wait, there's more! This tequila doesn't just rest; it lounges in reused American whiskey barrels, borrowing a hint of mischief from Jack Daniels and Balcones for six months. Why so brief? Because La Gritona believes in subtlety. Its pale hue whispers of barrels that have given their all, leaving the spotlight to the agave.
Rebel With a Cause: Flavor
Now, let's talk about taste. La Gritona is different from your typical reposado. No sir! It's a rebel, shunning the usual oak, pepper, vanilla, and dulce de leche notes. Instead, it holds tight to its agave roots - herbaceous, vegetal, and unapologetically honest. It's like sipping on a crisp, silver tequila that's been whispered secrets of aging by Melly herself.
Smooth Sips and Daring Pairings
And the finish? Oh, it's smoother than a Denver jazz night, with nary a burn in sight. Enjoy it as it deserves - neat, no ice, no distractions. Pair it with a cold Mexican lager or pilsner, and let the flavors play.
