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.
