Arette Gran Clase is made in small batches, aged with patience, and bottled with care—offering an experience that’s as rare as it is unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a tequila that transcends the ordinary, this Extra Añejo expression stands out with its rich complexity, bold character, and elegant finish.

Crafted from Estate-Grown Blue Weber Agave

Only the highest-quality agave is used for Gran Clase Extra Añejo. Each piña is harvested at peak maturity from the Orendain family’s estate fields in the highlands of Jalisco, where the climate and soil conditions yield exceptional flavor. The agave is slowly cooked in autoclaves to retain sweetness, then naturally fermented and double-distilled in traditional copper stills to preserve the pure, vibrant essence of the plant.

The result is a refined distillate, ready to be transformed into a truly luxurious spirit through the art of barrel aging.

Aging with Patience and Purpose

This Extra Añejo is aged for between 36 and 48 months in carefully selected American white oak barrels that were previously used to age bourbon. The extended aging process imparts rich color, layered aromas, and a deep flavor profile, without masking the underlying agave character. It’s this perfect balance of wood and spirit that defines Gran Clase and sets it apart from other tequilas in its class.

Each bottle is a limited release, designed to showcase the highest expression of the Arette portfolio.
