Casa Orendain was established in 1926 by Don Eduardo Orendain. The Orendain family is one of the four founding families of the tequila industry, the company says, along with the Cuervos, Sauzas and Herraduras.<br /><br />This tequila is entirely made from Orendain, a locally grown agave that is cooked in a brick oven and boiled with yeast produced locally. Before being bottled, tequila is filtered and aged in bourbon barrels for four to six months. This tequila is crystal clear and bright gold in colour. Batanga Reposado aged in American oak barrels, absorbing notes of coffee, vanilla, and toffee to replenish the warmth of spices added during the production process.
