Arette Tequila Gran Clase Extra Añejo

Premium Extra Añejo Tequila | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | 100% Blue Weber Agave

Arette Gran Clase Extra Añejo is an exceptional, long-aged tequila crafted at the historic El Llano Distillery in Tequila, Jalisco, a family-run distillery with roots dating back to 1900. Made from carefully selected 100% Blue Weber agave, Gran Clase represents one of Arette’s most refined expressions, combining traditional tequila craftsmanship with extended maturation in American oak.

After double distillation, the tequila is matured for approximately 48 months in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, allowing the spirit to develop remarkable depth while retaining its distinctive cooked-agave character. The extended aging brings forward elegant layers of vanilla, caramel, oak, dried fruit, and warm spice, creating a luxurious Extra Añejo that is equally suited to serious sipping and premium tequila collections.

Rich yet balanced, Gran Clase Extra Añejo offers the complexity expected from a spirit of its age without allowing the barrel to completely overshadow the agave. Its combination of traditional production, extended maturation, and limited availability makes it a standout choice for tequila enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated and collector-worthy expression.
