Arette Suave Gran Clase Extra Anejo Artesanal Tequila 38% 750ml

Tequila Arette is a family owned distillery, operated by the Orendain family, one of the four founding families of the Tequila appellation. The distillery itself, named El Llano, is only a few minutes walk from the town centre of Tequila, Jalisco. It was the original site of production in the early 1900s, once production eclipsed the capacity of the site, the Orendain family moved to a larger facility now known as the Orendain Distillery.

In 1978, the original site was reopened by the family as Tequila Arette, in order to capture the traditional, Artesanal style of production that was lost upon moving to a more industrial setting. The name Arette pays homage to a famous Mexican racehorse, which won Mexico's first riding Gold Medal at the 1948 Olympics.

The Grand Clase is the pinnacle of the Arette range. After being aged for over 36 months in American Oak casks, this spirit has become caramelised and rich, with a gentle sweetness that coexists with notes of roasted agave, toasted spices, coffee and a gentle citrus zest.

One of the purest expressions of an Extra Anejo Tequila, the Gran Clase is released only when select barrels achieve the required age & quality. Each bottle is numbered, with a barrel code on the label.
