La Gritona Resposado Tequila
Tasting Notes
For a Reposado, La Gritona is light on colour and sweetness, it is packed with honest and savoury roasted agave flavour, reminiscent of the old-style ‘rested’ Tequila, before the mass market took hold. An awesome drink presented in an amazing bespoke bottles which has been made from recycled Coca-Cola bottles.
About the Winery
‘La Gritona’ is Spanish for ‘The Screamer’. The people behind this outstanding tequila is LA-based punk guitarist Andy Coronado. The other significant player is the renowned Tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico’s few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas—who has 20 years of quality Tequila production under her belt—shares Coronado’s love of the exceptional and unconventional, and leads a team staffed only by local women.
