Kevin Hart Expands Gran Coramino Tequila with New Reposado Expression

In celebration of Gran Coramino Tequila’s second anniversary, founders Kevin Hart and 11th-generation tequila producer Juan Domingo Beckmann are expanding their portfolio by introducing a new Reposado tequila. This addition marks the brand’s third expression, bringing together over 250 years of tequila-making expertise with a commitment to quality.

“I know we’ve created a product unlike anything else in the Reposado category,” said co-founder of Gran Coramino, Kevin Hart. “When we started our process of developing Gran Coramino Reposado, I told the team that it had to deliver the same smooth and slightly sweet finish that people love in our Cristalino and Añejo variations, and I meant it. I wanted to bring something new to the category and show people that they deserve a high standard of quality at a more accessible price.”

Gran Coramino Reposado stands out by delivering the complexity of an aged tequila with a smooth, brandy-laced finish. Made from 100% agave tequila, it is crafted from hand-selected Blue Weber agaves picked at peak maturity and roasted in traditional brick ovens for up to 40 hours at the La Rojeña Distillery in Tequila, Mexico. The tequila is then double distilled, aged in American and French white oak barrels, and expertly blended with Extra Añejo tequila matured in brandy barrels. The result is a golden honey-colored Reposado with a complex and smooth flavor profile.

The partnership between Kevin Hart and Juan Domingo Beckmann has been instrumental in Gran Coramino’s rapid growth, launching three high-quality expressions in just a few years. The new Reposado tequila exemplifies the brand’s “Hard Work Tastes Different” ethos, inspired by the founders’ dedication to excellence.

“Our quality standard is built upon a centuries-long technique and perfecting a process that guarantees an unparalleled smoothness,” said Juan Domingo Beckmann, Founder of Gran Coramino Tequila. “Gran Coramino Reposado has a unique taste due to its blend with Extra Añejo tequilas matured in Brandy barrels. The resulting tequila delivers a complex agave aroma and slightly sweet wine finish, making it an approachable aged tequila for our audience to discover.”

In line with this vision, Gran Coramino will donate $1 from every bottle sold to support underrepresented small business owners in the U.S. and Mexico. The introduction of Gran Coramino Reposado solidifies the brand’s position as a challenger in the tequila industry, becoming a top-five category share driver since its launch.

Gran Coramino Reposado is available in 375ML and 750ML bottles on GranCoramino.com and select retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $39.99 for 750ML. For more information, visit GranCoramino.com and follow @GranCoramino on Instagram.

Kevin Hart and Gran Coramino Tequila Celebrates Over $1 Million in Grants to Black and Latinx Entrepreneurs

Gran Coramino® Tequila, co-founded by comedian Kevin Hart and tequila maker Juan Domingo Beckmann, has reached a significant milestone by disbursing over $1,000,000 USD in grant funds to support over 100 Black and Latinx small business owners and entrepreneurs through the Coramino Fund. This initiative, in partnership with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), aims to empower underrepresented entrepreneurs across the U.S. and Mexico.

Since its inception in 2022, Gran Coramino Tequila has donated $1 from every bottle sold to fuel the growth of small businesses. The Coramino Fund in the U.S. has provided $10,000 grants to over 100 entrepreneurs from various industries, including retail, transportation, food services, and education. Notably, 52% of the selected businesses are Black-owned, 36% are Latinx-owned, and 12% are Black and Latinx-owned, with 66% being women-owned.

“As an entrepreneur myself, I’ve seen how early financial support can impact the long-term success of the business,” Hart said. “The Coramino Fund was created to provide support to some of the hardest working people out there — entrepreneurs and small business owners.”

“Small businesses are the economic backbone of communities,” said Michael T. Pugh, LISC president and CEO, “but many owners lack fair access to the capital and services they need to grow. We are grateful to Gran Coramino for recognizing the systemic barriers that impact the success of underrepresented entrepreneurs and developing a give-back strategy to help address them. When we invest in these businesses,” he added, “we are also investing in the well-being of the communities where they operate.”

Chef Frances Roman, owner of Cocotazo restaurant in New York City, expressed gratitude for the Coramino Fund grant, highlighting its transformative impact on her business. “As a business owner, you face ups and downs, and the Coramino Fund grant came at a time when we needed it most,” she remarked. “Since then, we’ve hired three more women and are outgrowing the space!”

Gran Coramino Tequila’s philanthropic efforts extend beyond the U.S., supporting entrepreneurs in Tequila, Mexico, where its Cristalino Reposado and Añejo are crafted, through the Beckmann Foundation. Additionally, the brand plans to expand its Coramino Fund programming to entrepreneurs throughout Mexico later this year in collaboration with strategic partners.

Founded with a vision to celebrate life’s hard-earned moments, Gran Coramino Tequila embodies Hart and Beckmann’s commitment to creating a tequila worthy of celebration while giving back to communities through impactful initiatives like the Coramino Fund.

Gran Coramino Tequila, founded by comedian and businessman Kevin Hart and 11th-generation tequila producer Juan Domingo Beckmann, has announced a multi-year partnership as the “Spirit of the Atlanta Hawks.” This partnership was unveiled before the Hawks’ 2023-24 regular-season opener against Charlotte.

Last year, I made the State Farm Arena a stop on my comedy tour, but this year, I wanted to find a way to connect with them long-term,” said Kevin Hart. “To build anticipation for this basketball season, my tequila brand signed a sponsorship deal that bonds the Hawks and Gran Coramino together. I am excited for Hawks fans to become fans of my tequila once they have the chance to try it out!”

Atlanta holds significance for Kevin Hart’s career, as he has filmed many movies in the city and performed sold-out shows at State Farm Arena. The city’s vibrant entertainment and culture scenes align with Gran Coramino’s ethos. This partnership acknowledges the city’s prominence and the brand’s success in Atlanta.
