Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila
Gran Centenario Anejo Tequila is a 750mL anejo bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from carefully selected 100% blue agave in Jalisco, Mexico. It is aged an average of about sixteen months in new American oak barrels — beyond the twelve-month anejo minimum — then blended under Seleccion Suave, the house process of marrying selected batches with older tequila reserves created by founder Lazaro Gallardo in 1857. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Sixteen Months in New Oak, Finished the Gallardo Way
The Anejo is where Gran Centenario's two signatures meet: patient aging in new American oak, which lays toasted almond, clove and vanilla over the cooked agave, and the Seleccion Suave reserve blend that softens the edges into the house's famously smooth profile. The official product page records a Double Gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for this expression.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: a slightly fruity aroma with subtle cooked agave and toasted almonds; smooth on the palate with a hint of sweetness — cooked agave, toasted almonds, cloves and vanilla; a soft, complex, balanced finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a single cube; its sweetness and spice also carry a tequila Old Fashioned beautifully. More anejos are in our spirits collection.
