My Tasting Notes: I tried this tequila by doing a blind tasting at Zocalo using a
snifter. This tequila is an amber brown color and has intense aromas of fruit. There
are also moderate aromas of earth, floral, and vanilla followed by mild caramel. A soft
taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a low amount of sweetness with a
moderate-to-bitter amount of bitterness. The Gran Centenario Leyenda Extra Anejo
flavor contains moderate caramel, chemicals, and earth flavors with mild floral, agave,
fruit, and spice. The tequila also has hints of vanilla and smoke. Gran Centenario
Leyenda Extra Anejo finishes with a medium-to-long duration of flavor and a numbing
alcohol feeling.
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: Leyenda was released in 2006.
Along with the bottle and box, the Leyenda comes with a small booklet that gives the
following information: "Since 1857, the finest tequilas in the world have been produced
at Hacienda Los Camichines, the birthplace of Gran Centenario Tequila. For many
years, Don Lazaro Gallardo, the original Maestro Tequilero and founder of Hacienda Los
Camichines would craft a special tequila for only his most distinguished guest and
closest family members. Until now, the Tequilero's special blend was the best-kept
secret in the highlands of Jalisco. Now Gran Centenario Leyenda is available for all
Tequila connoisseurs to enjoy.
The distinguished 100% Agave Extra Anejo tequila represents the art and skill of many
generations of Maestro Tequileros. This tequila is twice distilled from carefully selected
Agaves and aged in French Limousine oak barrels for an average of 4 years. After the
spirit is carefully aged, it is married to older, hand picked Tequila reserves for richness
and complexity. Every step in the process is meticulously supervised by the Maestro
Tequilero and thus only a limited number of bottles can be produced every year.
We are sure that you will find Gran Centenario Leyenda to be a Tequila of Unparalleled
flavor and character - a true reflection of the Tequila blender's art. Salud!"
