Tequila Gran Orendain is a producer with over nine decades of experience, so it’s no surprise that the Gran Orendain Reposado is a tequila like no other. With a smooth fruity and peppery flavour with hints of caramel and nut, you can almost taste the fine craftsmanship and history of the Gran Orendain company with each sip.
Gran Orendain Reposado Tequila is produced only from the most carefully selected agaves from the region of ‘El Cerro del Tepecoste’ - an area that Gran Orendain believes has the best conditions to grow the finest agaves for tequila-producing.
The company was founded back in 1926 by Don Eduardo Orendain and has remained in the family since then. Don Eduardo Orendain had been working in the industry since he was a child and believed that his passion for tequila-producing, combined with time, patience, and sticking to traditional values would enable him to excel as a tequila producer in his own right. Now, almost a century later, Gran Orendain and the Orendain Family are considered among the top tequila producers in Jalisco, Mexico - the home of tequila.
With over 90 years of experience and refinement, their tequila is made from 100% hand-picked agaves. The Orendain family uses 7 to 8-year-old ripe agaves and carefully selects them from the highlands of ‘El Cerro del Tepecoste’, a region in Jalisco, Mexico that the family believes to have the best conditions for growing a mature agave crop at the highest level. After harvesting, the agaves are cooked and then crushed to extract the sweet juice known as ‘aguamiel’ (Spanish for honey water). The aguamiel is then fermented in stainless steel pots. While it is still being fermented it is known as ‘mosto vivo’ (live must), and after fermentation it becomes ‘mosto muerto’ (dead must) which then gets double-distilled and bottled up to be sent over to us in the UK.
What makes Gran Orendain Reposado special?
The art of tequila-making has truly been perfected by Gran Orendain. The company is not just well-thought-of in Mexico, but all around the world. Gran Orendain Tequila was named in 2015 as the world's best tequila by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles and in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition as well in 2016.
Don Eduardo Orendain started his company with traditional Mexican values of producing tequila and it’s clear today that the generations of his family following his footsteps have succeeded in keeping these values true to this day.
Their tequila is made using an artisanal process that has been refined to perfection. The agave plantations have been preserved for generations and are picked by experienced hands who are dedicated to nothing less than the best agaves for their tequila.
