More questions
Gran Orendain Reposado presents the sober, enveloping character expected of a reposado: aromas of cooked agave intertwined with a delicate trace of wood, with hints of vanilla, honey and a citrus note. The 70 cl bottle, accompanied by the elegant case, suggests care in presentation that makes it suitable as a gift or for more formal occasions.
On the palate the sip is round and balanced, with well-measured warmth and a structure that supports notes of sweet spice and a slight saline finish; the persistence is pleasant without being intrusive. Versatile in use, it works well neat or with ice, and adds complexity to classic cocktails; in the kitchen it pairs with spicy dishes, grilled fare and fish-based preparations, as well as with dark chocolate for a more indulgent pairing.

The story
The Orendain family has been involved in tequila production for many decades; their historic distillery, known as La Mexicana, is reported as operating since 1926. In the 1990s the family developed special reserves that led to the commercialization of premium expressions such as Gran Orendain. Over time the group has consolidated several brands including Gran Orendain, Orendain, Ollitas and Batanga.
Distillation
Two-stage process (first distillation to obtain a liquid around 20% vol., then rectification/second distillation up to about 55% vol. for the Blanco); use of traditional stills (copper stills are cited for some expressions) and triple distillation for the Ollitas brand.
Ageing
Ageing in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. Declared times on the site vary by category: reposado (2 to 11 months), añejo (12–35 months), extra añejo (over 36 months); specific examples: Gran Orendain Reposado ~8 months, Añejo ~18 months, Extra Añejo 3 years (36 months) and 7 years (84 months).
