La Gritona Reposado Tequila 700ml

Tasting Notes

Whilst the striking swing-top bottle is certainly an attention grabber it’s the contents inside that made it a no brainer for the Bibendum Bar portfolio. ‘La Gritona’ is Spanish for ‘The Screamer’. It’s an appropriate name seeing that one of 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 by only local women. - Importer Note
