Gran Centenario Reposado Tequila
Gran Centenario Reposado Tequila is a 750mL reposado bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico. It is rested in new American oak casks, then blended under Seleccion Suave — founder Lazaro Gallardo's proprietary process of marrying selected batches with older tequila reserves — which gives this reposado a smoothness and depth beyond its rest. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Reposado, Married With Older Reserves
Most reposados are simply rested and bottled. Gran Centenario's Seleccion Suave takes the new-American-oak-rested spirit and marries it with older reserves Gallardo-style, a house practice dating to the brand's 1857 founding — the result is a reposado that drinks rounder and sweeter than its age class suggests. The brand records a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for this Reposado. Explore the house on the Gran Centenario vendor page, or browse our spirits collection.
