Enjoying a shot of Tequlia from time to time I have really started to understand the difference between good and bad Tequlia and what spending an extra $40 or so brings to the table. The burning down the throat as you shot or sip the drink disappears and the morning head holding is also a think of the past. I'm sure there is better Tequila's on the market but it is a nice smooth drink which you can enjoy shotting or slipping at a leisurely pace.

Background:
In 1858, Lazaro Gallardo, a tavern owner and tequila producer, invented a unique tequila-making process called Selección Suave, of Smooth Selection. This unique process blended newly rested tequilas with the smoothest, aged tequila reserves creating the highest quality and best tasting tequila available. In the late 1800s, Lazaro Gallardo named his tequila, Gran Centenario to commemorate the beginning of a new century and began selling it as his tavern. In 1920, Lazaro's son, Luciano decided to bottle Gran Centenario. Inspired by the Art Deco style of architecture, he designed a bottle similar to the one we use today. The makers of Gran Centenario still uses the Selección Suave when crafting this deluxe tequila.
