Gran Padre Reposado Tequila

Gran Padre, meaning great father, is made at NOM 1464 by Destilería 501, a family-owned distillery in El Arenal, Jalisco, a lowland town in the Tequila Valley west of Guadalajara. The family keeps the entire chain under its own control, from growing and harvesting its own agave with jimadores whose families have worked the fields for generations through fermentation and distillation. The agave is 100% blue Weber from the Valles region, oven-cooked, crushed on a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and double distilled, with a column still in the process. For the Reposado, that spirit is rested in American oak barrels, long enough to take on a golden color and some roundness while leaving the agave in front. The brand describes it as a light, golden tequila with a pleasant silkiness on the palate that still keeps plenty of body. It sits between the peppery, green-agave Blanco and the longer-aged Añejo in the range, which makes it the most versatile of the three: smooth enough to sip neat or on the rocks, with enough agave character to carry a reposado margarita, a Paloma, or a tall highball with grapefruit soda and a pinch of salt.
