The Orendain family has been involved in producing tequila since 1840, when Doña Elisa Orendain and her husband owned a distillery called La Chiripa, where their nephew Don Eduardo Orendain worked. His grandson Don Eduardo Orendain Gonzalez established his own company upon purchasing a simple distillery in 1926 in Tequila, Jalisco after previously producing Orendain Tequila around the corner at El Llano (current home of Arette Tequila produced by his sons Eduardo and Jaime Orendain Gonzalez) since 1900. This new(er!) distillery is now known as Casa Mexicana, and is the home of Tequila Orendain, Gran Orendain, Ollitas, and others. We bring in the latter two, produced by Marcela Orendain Gonzalez, sister of Jaime and Eduardo.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: “Smooth on the palate, intense flavor with aromas of cooked agave, caramel, chocolate, vanilla and coffee. In the mouth, similar flavours of agave, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee, with great body and mouthfeel generated through its long aging process. To be enjoyed neat in a snifter or Riedel tequila glass, or on the rocks.”
Method
Gran Orendain Añejo is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.
