The flavor presents itself with a welcoming warmth and a sweet yet elegantly spicy note. A delicate finish allows the aromas to linger for a long time, making it perfect for connoisseurs.

Production of Corralejo’s Gran Anejo

The production of Gran Anejo is based on the finest raw materials. The tequila is made from 100% Blue Agave, which thrives in the sun-drenched region of Jalisco. The careful harvesting of the agaves is done by hand. The hearts of the agave, also called piñas, are then steamed and crushed to obtain the sweet agave juice.

The entire distillation process takes place in traditional copper pot stills. These preserve the delicate aromas of the agave and contribute to the complexity of the spirit. After the tequila is distilled, it ages for at least 18 months in oak barrels. This maturation allows for a harmonious combination of wood and fruit aromas and gives Gran Anejo its characteristic flavor.
