Gran Coronel Limited Edition 5 Year Old Extra Anejo Tequila
80 proof (40% ABV) | 750mL | Cinco Años extra añejo | Limited, numbered bottles signed by Héctor Dávalos — Gran Coronel Cinco Años is a 5-year extra añejo tequila from the Jalisco highlands, built on the brand's signature multi-wood cask program: medium-toast Allier French oak, American oak, old red wine barrels from Europe and California, and old Scotch whisky barrels. Each bottle in the limited edition is individually numbered and signed by tequila maker Héctor Dávalos.
Gran Coronel is the work of a multi-generational tequila family — Héctor Dávalos Sr, in tequila since 1967, passed the craft to his son Héctor Dávalos — farming their own agave in the Jalisco highlands. The extra añejo pours a rich amber: caramel, vanilla, and oak on the nose; a powerful, complex palate of toasted agave, dried fruit, and spices; and an impressive, very unique long finish. The multi-wood program is the brand's differentiator — "the premium tequila among the premium." Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Cinco Años" mean?
"Five years" — the extra añejo expression. (Note: the same retailer product copy also mentions "40 months" in one line — a conflict; the copy follows the product title's 5-year claim and the discrepancy is flagged for label verification.)
Why so many different cask types?
The multi-wood program is Gran Coronel's differentiator: medium-toast French oak, American oak, old red wine barrels from Europe and California, and old Scotch whisky barrels each layer different character into the extra añejo.
Are the bottles really signed?
Yes — the limited edition bottles are individually numbered and signed by tequila maker Héctor Dávalos.
