GRAN CENTENARIO REPOSADO FUTBOL 2026 700ML

The Gran Centenario Reposado Fútbol 2026—officially referred to as the “Tri-Nation Fútbol Reposado”—is a limited-edition tequila release tied to the 2026 global football tournament, hosted across Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Concept and Theme

This edition is designed as a celebratory bottle honoring football culture and the three host nations. It stands out because:

1. It is the first Gran Centenario reposado aged in three different types of oak
2. Each oak type symbolizes one host country:
3. Mexican oak: depth and heritage
4. American oak: sweetness and structure
5. Canadian oak: balance and subtle finish

The result is both a marketing-driven collectible and a genuinely differentiated aging experiment.

Production Details

1. Category: Reposado Tequila
2. Agave: 100% Blue Weber agave
3. Aging: Triple-barrel system (Mexico, U.S., Canada oak)
4. ABV: 40% (80 proof)

Like all Gran Centenario, it uses the brand’s Selección Suave process, blending older tequila with younger spirit for smoothness.
