Overview

Gran Centenario Añejo is a classic aged tequila from an historic Mexican producer with roots going back to 1857. It’s crafted from fully mature blue agave and aged in oak barrels, giving it a smoother, more developed character than younger tequilas. The brand emphasizes tradition and award‑winning quality in its añejo expression.

Aging & Style

Añejo tequilas are aged in oak barrels for roughly 16 months (around 1 ⅓ years) or longer, allowing the spirit to develop wood‑influenced richness, softer texture, and complexity beyond reposado or blanco tequilas.
