On the heels of Gran Coramino Tequila’s 2nd anniversary, founders Kevin Hart and 11th-generation tequila producer Juan Domingo Beckmann, announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of Reposado Tequila.
Gran Coramino Reposado Tequila is the brand’s third expression and combines more than 250 years of tequila-making expertise and innovation with a relentless dedication to quality, the company says. The result is a Reposado that sets itself apart by delivering the complexity of an aged tequila paired with a long, smooth, brandy-laced finish, it adds.
“I know we’ve created a product unlike anything else in the Reposado category,” Hart said in a statement. “When we started our process of developing Gran Coramino Reposado, I told the team that it had to deliver the same smooth and slightly sweet finish that people love in our Cristalino and Añejo variations, and I meant it. I wanted to bring something new to the category and show people that they deserve a high standard of quality at a more accessible price.”
Gran Coramino Co-Founder Domingo Beckmann added: “Our quality standard is built upon a centuries-long technique and perfecting a process that guarantees an unparalleled smoothness. Gran Coramino Reposado has a unique taste due to its blend with Extra Añejo tequilas matured in Brandy barrels. The resulting tequila delivers a complex agave aroma and slightly sweet wine finish, making it an approachable aged tequila for our audience to discover.”
The new Reposado variation is 100% agave tequila crafted from the piñas (hearts) of hand-selected Blue Weber agaves picked at peak maturity, then slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens for up to 40 hours at La Rojeña Distillery in Tequila, Mexico, the company notes. The fermented juice is double distilled for smoothness, aged for months in new American and French white oak barrels, and then expertly blended with Extra Añejo tequila matured in brandy barrels, it says. The result is a golden honey-colored Reposado with an incredibly smooth and complex flavor that ends with a unique brandy-laced finish, it adds.
Gran Coramino Reposado now is available to purchase in 375-ml and 750-ml at select retailers nationwide and online by visiting the company’s website.
