We can away impressed.
There’s a reason for that last part—this is a blend of tequila initially aged in both French and American oak for a year and “añejo reserves,” according to the brand, that were aged in ex-Cognac casks. “Our first tequila, Gran Coramino Cristalino, was finished in Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks to give it a sweet berry finish,” said Beckmann in a statement.
The añejo is a full, rich tequila that, truth be told, veers more to the palate of other brown spirits like the aforementioned scotch and Cognac. But there’s still a burst of earthy, grassy agave peeking out behind the dominant notes of dark chocolate, butterscotch, espresso bean, oak and sweet vanilla. This is certainly more of a sipping tequila than a mixer, but you likely wouldn’t regret making an Old Fashioned with it.
Remember, there are plenty of excellent tequila choices that are worth your money and time without any famous pitch person behind them that you should try. And, obviously, there are many different celeb-backed tequilas to choose from these days, some better than others. Fortunately, the new Gran Coramino Añejo falls into the “better than others” category.
