December 21 2023
Welcome to My Bev Store, where the pursuit of exceptional spirits is our passion. La Gritona Tequila stands as a beacon among our curated collection, embodying the essence of rarity and excellence. It's more than a drink; it's an experience crafted for aficionados who seek the extraordinary.
The distillation Process
Melly Barajas is driven by an unwavering dedication to conserving the unblemished essence of the agave plant. Her commitment to this craft unfolds in a series of meticulous steps that culminate in the creation of La Gritona Tequila.
The journey begins with the agave, carefully selected amidst the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands. The agave is chosen after maturing under careful watch for 8-10 years. This is when the agave has reached its peak of sugar production, near the end of its life cycle. This meticulous timing is the cornerstone of La Gritona's excellence.
The agave, meticulously trimmed and ready for transformation, enters a process that reveres tradition. It undergoes an arduous yet essential journey to ensure the finest result. First, a slow and deliberate steam cooking within earthen ovens for a full 24 hours. This deliberate pace allows the agave to release its intricate flavors, laying the foundation for what will become an exceptional tequila.
Following this, the agave nectar naturally ferments and oxygenates in open steel vats. These vats, closely monitored and adjusted in accordance with local air temperatures, foster an environment that nurtures the raw material into a pure, refined liquid, all while respecting the heritage of the craft.
The distilled blanco tequila, the result of this detailed process, undergoes a meticulous refinement. Double-distillation in steel stills with copper coils refines and purifies, ensuring that every drop retains the essence of the agave in its truest form.
But the journey doesn't end there. La Gritona Reposado Tequila finds its finishing touch in a remarkable 8-month resting period. Nestled within reused American whiskey barrels, this reposado subtly absorbs nuanced hints from its resting vessel, all the while safeguarding and cherishing the agave's innate flavors.
La Gritona Tasting Notes
La Gritona Reposado Tequila defies convention with its strikingly pale color, an anomaly among tequilas rested for a substantial 8-month period. What sets this exceptional spirit apart from its peers isn't just its hue but its remarkable purity. It boldly departs from the expected traditional barrel notes, opting instead for a captivating flavor profile that speaks volumes about its craftsmanship.
This reposado doesn't follow the beaten path, it takes the palate on a journey. A sensory exploration evoking a herbaceous, almost vegetal quality that resonates with the true essence of the agave plant. La Gritona stands tall in its commitment to preserving the natural flavors of the agave, shunning additives and shortcuts that might compromise its integrity.
The magic of this reposado lies in its ability to retain the inherent crispness that characterizes a top-tier tequila. Yet, it delicately hints at the many flavors developed in deliberate aging process. This balance results in an exquisitely rounded finish that gracefully lingers, leaving no room for any burn, only the lingering embrace of a meticulously crafted spirit.
