Info on the Back of the Bottle: Tenampa Azul is a 100% Agave Reposado
Tequila from the House of Gran Centenario – our name derives from Blue Agave or
Agave Azul. The tequila is rested in white oak barrels for a minimum of two months
before being ready for bottling. See our website at www.tenampaazul.com.
Other Info: The book Guide to Tequila, edited by Alberto Ruy-Sanchez and Margarita
de Orellana, provides the following information about Gran Centenario Azul Reposado:
"The tradition of tequila has crossed borders and also generations. This fact was the
inspiration for Gran Centenario Azul, a Reposado tequila tailored to the new
generation.
As it ages for two months in charred American oak barrels, Gran Centenario Azul
acquires a bouquet with banana, apple, vanilla, woody, and floral notes. Its straw-
yellow color and slightly bitter flavor make it an ideal beverage for any social
gathering. It is smooth enough to be taken neat, but flavorful enough to be mixed in a
cocktail like the Charro Azul or Paloma.
Tequila Azul marks a return to the traditional tequila, with a novel presentation that
conserves the robust essence of this beverage."
