Cristalino Tequila

Category: Cristalino Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of honey roasted yams, pineapples and dates, corn cake with fondant, pickled melon rind, and stuffed peppers with a silky, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a peppery, charming, medium-long finish with notes of roasted yellow pepper, roasted coconut, honeyed zucchini bread toast, and green peppercorns. A refreshingly dry and pure cristalino with a peppery snap that will excel in cocktails.

About
Cristalino Tequila
Cristalino tequilas are barrel-aged tequilas, usually añejos, that have been stripped of color. They tend to have rounder, more creamy aromas and flavors than blancos and also softer acidity and agave notes. They are designed for sipping.
