A Century of Orendain Craft in an Unaged Blanco
The Orendain family has been making tequila since 1926, and Gran Orendain is their flagship — built on agave from the slopes of El Cerro del Tepecoste, planted by hand and tended daily until optimum maturity at up to seven years. Triple distillation gives this blanco tequila its signature softness: an "old school" profile that importer notes say smells like the baking agaves of the town of Tequila itself. Browse the full Gran Orendain collection for the family's aged expressions.
Tasting Notes
Mineral-forward on the nose, with clean earthy agave shining through. The palate is soft and rounded — a hint of ripe orchard fruit (green apple, soft pear) bringing gentle sweetness, layered with herbs and mint. The finish is smooth, with pear lingering.
How to Enjoy
Excellent neat or on the rocks, and a superb upgrade for margaritas and other agave cocktails where pure agave character should lead.
