What makes Gran Orendain Extra Añejo special?

Gran Orendain 7-Year Extra Añejo is a tequila that’s swimming in history and comes from one of the most prestigious manufacturers of tequila in Mexico, crafted from only the finest hand-picked agaves using a traditional process that the Orendain Family have perfected over the last century.

The Tequila Gran Orendain company was founded in Jalisco, Mexico in 1926. Gran Orendain has not left the hands of the family, moving from each generation to the next. The man behind it all is tequila legend Don Eduardo Oredain.

Before setting up the company, Don Eduardo had been working in the tequila industry with other family members since he was a child. Records show that the Orendain family have been involved in tequila-production as early as 1840, when ‘Dona Elisa Orendain’ and her husband had a tequila distillery called La Chiripa.
