About Gran Centenario
A brand of authentic Mexican tequilas with a rich tradition, Gran Centenario tequilas have been crafted in small batches since 1857 in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Founded by tavern owner Lázaro Gallardo who began making 100% agave tequilas, a special procedure called Selección Suave™ is used during production, which was invented by Gallardo. Suave meaning ‘smooth’ in Spanish, Gallardo wanted to create the smoothest possible tequila by adding the richer, older and smoother reserves to the blend. Today, Gran Centenario is still family-owned with several generations passing down experience and knowledge to the next one. Even the bottle of Gran Centenario tequilas is still the same as it was in 1920 when it was designed by Gallardo's son who was inspired by the Art Deco style.About Tequila
