La Gritona Reposado Tequila

Founded by Melly Barajas Cárdenas, La Gritona is notable for being produced at a distillery operated by an all-female staff in Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco. Melly's vision was to create a traditional, additive-free reposado that retains the vibrant, herbaceous qualities of the agave plant.
La Gritona is crafted at the Tequilas las Americas distillery using fully matured blue agave cooked in traditional brick ovens for 24 hours. The juice is fermented naturally and distilled twice in steel stills before resting for eight months in re-charred American oak barrels.
