La Gritona Reposado Tequila (750 mL) is a distinctive, small-batch tequila crafted by Melly Barajas Cárdenas, one of the few female master distillers in Mexico.

Bottled in hand-blown recycled glass, La Gritona is as unique in appearance as it is in taste—offering an honest, no-nonsense expression of true Mexican tequila tradition.
