Gran Centenario Gallardo, a tequila aged in American and French oak barrels, and finished in Bordeaux wine barrels, resulting in unparalleled quality. With an amber hue, featuring prominent notes of vanilla and oak, and a flavor that evokes hints of banana, figs, apple, nuts, and red fruits, giving a long and smooth finish. The unparalleled smoothness, family legacy, and quality in the process distinguish each drop of Gran Centenario Gallardo tequila, born to toast in the name of those who transcend.
Because of their great complexity, Anejo Tequilas are most often used as a substitute for Brandy or Whiskey in cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Anejo Tequilas must be aged in oak barrels for between one and three years, while Extra Anejo refers to any Tequila aged longer than three years. The prolonged contact with the oak barrel allows the wood to make a much stronger impression on the Tequila by adding toffee, caramel and vanilla to the sweet, spicy agave flavor profile.
