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: “A rich, golden amber color with aromas of honeyed spice cake, toasted meringue, peppers, and dried fruits. On the palate, a silky mouthfeel, dry-yet-fruity at the outset, medium-to-full body, and a long and warming cola, peppery, vanilla toffee, and mineral accented finish. A beautiful sipping anejo excellent on its own or paired with a fine cigar.”
Method
This gorgeous Extra Añejo is aged for 40 months or more in French oak barrels.
