Product Description
100% Agave Tequilana, aged for 2 years in American oak barrels. This Gran Anejo holds onto its natural Agave flavours and characters which can sometimes sadly be lost in overly aged Tequila. Too many begin to taste like a bourbon or whiskey profile. The craftsmanship used in making this majestic bottle and the liquid contents are to be savoured.

How It's Made
It takes 7 – 12 years to grow Blue Weber agave in Corralejo’s privately-owned Fields in Penjamo, Guanajuato. The 100% Blue Agave is slowly cooked with steam in stone clay ovens (called Horno’s) for 36 hours.
Once the agave is cooked to a lovely caramel brown colour, it is then milled through shredders and crushers to extract the sweet juice at between 11 and 12 Brix (a sweetness measure). This extracted juice is then pumped into the fermentation vats where a further 36 hours of fermentation occurs in large stainless steel tanks.
All Corralejo Tequila sees double distillation, the first, in a column still, the second is in alembic copper pot stills. What sets Corralejo apart from other tequila producers is the use of the Charentais distillation method, it is unique to Corralejo. This distillation method is centuries old, and perfected by the French, for exclusive use in making Cognac. Charentais distillation is proven to extract the maximum flavour and aroma’s during distillation. Corralejo Gran Añejo sees 24 months of ageing in brand new, freshly charred, American oak barrels before being bottled.

First of all the bottles appearance is brilliant! But the taste of this tequila is equally impeccable. The nose is exactly as described by the Agave Lux team, and the slightly oaky/woody taste is amazing as a Tequila. Would absolutely recommend.
Reza Dyer –
was better than expected.

I collect tequila and this addition of the Gran Corralejo crown is truely the crown in my collection
A stunning bottle at a very reasonable price with the added benefit that’s its full of an amazing agave tequila
Michael Nesci –
Everything about this bottle is impressive, including its very unique and rich history which involves the provision of this unique product by the Mexican president and Don Lorenzo of the mid 90s. An exciting story and even more exciting tequila. The Agave Lux team match their service to this high level product and I’ll be a returning customer hands down.

This is a very smooth to drink añejo, it is one of our best tequilas at La Patrona. It had to be from Guanajuato, it surely lives and exceeds it’s reputation .

The Gran Corralejo was a gift and the recipient described it as “magnificent”. He was equally impressed by the bottle, which is absolutely beautiful. Ordering from Agave Lux was simple, delivery was fast and the company’s after-sales service is exemplary.
