La Gritona Reposado is a very distinctive 100% blue agave tequila distilled by Melly Barajas at her small facility in the Valle de Guadalupe. La Gritona always uses 9-10 year-old, mature agave grown in the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands—the plants are always cultivated only at the height of sugar production and are put into ovens within 24 hours of harvest. After cooking, native fermentation, and double-distillation, the tequila is rested in reused American whiskey barrels for eight months before bottling. One of the prettiest highland tequilas we know: bright, soaring, refreshing. No need for lime.
