Gran Coramino Cristalino Reposado - Item Code: 05102
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Gran Coramino Cristalino Reposado offers a smooth, elegant sipping experience perfect for celebratory toasts or relaxed evenings. With an ABV of 40%, this tequila is crafted in Mexico using traditional methods, then aged in both American and French oak barrels before being filtered to achieve its signature crystal-clear appearance. The result is a spirit that balances the depth of reposado with the clarity and finesse of a cristalino.
On the palate, Gran Coramino Cristalino Reposado reveals notes of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and subtle oak, complemented by hints of dried fruit and spice. Its silky texture pairs beautifully with grilled shrimp, enhancing the seafood’s natural sweetness while adding complexity. When enjoyed alongside aged Manchego cheese, the tequila’s creamy undertones and gentle spice elevate the cheese’s nutty richness for a harmonious tasting experience.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
