Production & Craftsmanship

Arette Gran Clase is built around time in oak and traditional fermentation/distillation choices.

  • Agave: 100% Blue Weber agave 
  • Cooking: Traditional slow-cooked style (estate production; commonly presented as classic, low-and-slow cooking) Extraction: Not consistently disclosed across retailer spec sheets (often listed generally without method)
  • Fermentation: Open-air concrete tanks
  • Distillation: Double distilledStill: Reported as distillation in copper and stainless steel stills (often described as a hybrid setup) Additives: Marketed as a traditional-style, integrity-driven Extra Añejo; additive claims vary by market listing (keep consistent with your store policy)

  • Aging: ~3–4 years in American bourbon style oak 

This approach creates a deep, polished Extra Añejo that still carries earthy, herbal agave beneath the oak richness.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a stemmed spirits glass (or wide bowl) to let the oak, vanilla, and earthy agave notes unfold. This is a “slow sip” Extra Añejo—save it for special pours.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and earthy cooked agave, with hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit.

Palate: Rich and creamy with layered oak sweetness—caramel/vanilla, plus roasted agave, gentle spice, and a subtle nutty tone.

Finish: Long, warming, and oak-driven, tapering into earthy agave, cocoa-like depth, and lingering sweetness.
