Gran Coramino Reposado 375ML

Gran Coramino Reposado 375ML is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a convenient 375ml format. A Gold Medal winner at the Los Angeles Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge, this reposado distinguishes itself by blending oak-aged tequila with Extra Añejo reserves matured in brandy barrels — a finishing step that adds uncommon depth for the category.Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico  |  Reposado  |  Distillery: La Rojeña, Tequila, JaliscoProduction & HeritageGran Coramino Reposado is produced at La Rojeña Distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco — one of the oldest active distilleries in Latin America, established in 1795. Highland-grown Blue Weber agaves are slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens for up to 40 hours, then double distilled in copper pot stills. The reposado rests for months in new American and French oak barrels before being blended with Extra Añejo tequila that has been matured in brandy barrels, a production decision that lends a distinctive brandy-laced sweetness and layered complexity rarely found in standard reposados.Tasting NotesAroma: Vanilla and caramel open the nose with a honeyed sweetness, followed by subtle oak and fresh-cut herbs. A gentle warmth of baking spice rounds out the aromatic profile.Taste: The entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with cooked agave and toffee leading into a mid-palate of cinnamon and dried fruits. Chocolate notes emerge alongside deeper oak influence, adding richness that reflects the Extra Añejo blending component.Finish: Warm and lingering, with balanced oak and spice tapering into a hint of citrus zest. A subtle wine-like sweetness from the brandy barrel aging carries through to the close.How to Drink Gran Coramino ReposadoThe brandy barrel influence and smooth texture make this reposado rewarding neat or over a single large ice cube, where the vanilla and toffee notes open up gradually. It also performs well in cocktails:
Old Fashioned (Tequila variation): The existing caramel and oak character pairs naturally with agave syrup and Angostura bitters.
Paloma: The tequila’s sweetness and spice balance grapefruit soda without being overwhelmed by citrus.
Añejo Manhattan: The brandy barrel finish lends a richness that complements sweet vermouth in ways most reposados cannot.
