Gran Centenario tequila honored the timeless sensibilities of the famous Mexican brand this fall with an event that ignited the senses.
At the intimate soiree guests gathered for a sensational sound experiment that was a unique way to taste the offerings of the number one brand of tequila as they launched in the U.S. Gran Centenario Cristalino. Hints of silver slowly melted down the mouth with an ultra-smooth finish. The luxurious aroma and sweet notes of cooked agave and toffee aromas with a touch of fresh apple, and oak carried you away on a euphoric journey.
“Gran Centenario Cristalino is a remarkable spirit and marks the first time we have finished our tequila in Calvados casks, and used silver in our Cristalino filtration process,” said ex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller at Gran Centenario Tequila. “Producing an unparalleled taste to any other tequila out there, the result is a clear tequila, rich in notes of sweet agave, toffee, fresh apple, and oak.”
Handcrafted in the highlands of Jalisco, all expressions of Gran Centenario (Plata, Reposado, Añejo, Leyenda, and now, Cristalino) are produced with 100% Blue Weber Agaves at Ex-Hacienda Los Camichines. Expertly crafted using the brand’s proprietary process, ‘Selección Suave’ – in which newly rested tequilas are blended with the smoothest aged reserves – Gran Centenario Cristalino uses the finest Añejo and Extra Añejo tequilas matured in American oak barrels. A first for the brand, the blended aged tequila is then finished in Calvados casks for a few months, before being filtered through a meticulous process with Mexican silver, transforming the aged tequila into a crystal-clear liquid.
Available for purchase nationwide at select fine liquor stores, restaurants and bars for a suggested retail price of $79.99 USD (750mL / 80 proof), Gran Centenario Cristalino is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks with a lime twist.
