Gran Coramino Reposado Cristalino is a crystal-clear reposado tequila from the collaboration of Kevin Hart and Juan Domingo Beckmann, made from 100% blue agave and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
It is rested for over six months in new Eastern European oak barrels, then finished in first-fill Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks from California's Napa Valley, and finally slow-filtered for clarity, unparalleled smoothness and a sweet berry finish. Beckmann, the seventh-generation heir of the Jose Cuervo dynasty, is credited with pioneering the cristalino category. The tequila is made under NOM 1122 using stone-oven cooking, native yeast fermentation and copper pot distillation.
The aroma brings cooked agave, ripened stone fruit and oak. The palate offers sweet vanilla, butterscotch, berries and spice, with a long and balanced finish.
Its tall, elegant bottle makes it a stylish gift for tequila fans.
Reposado, meaning rested, is tequila aged between two months and a year in oak, which gives it a pale gold colour and a gentle touch of wood while keeping the agave bright and lively.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
