Five years in these barrels produces a fundamentally different spirit from younger aged tequilas — the agave character has transformed, the oak is fully integrated, and the result sits closer to aged French brandy than to standard tequila in its depth and complexity. The Seleccion Suave enrichment process — unique to Gran Centenario — adds an additional layer of smoothness from the extra-aged Añejo blend.
