Alcohol: 40%
Clear color. Attractive, creamy, fruity aromas of lime Jell-O, vanilla and coconut shavings, chopped green herbs, strawberry, and and watermelon rind with an full body and a polished, interesting, medium-length roasted agave, vanilla butter cream, papaya, and cumin finish. Very pretty, with tons of agave character and hints of barrel still lingering around but just enough to elevate rather than distract.

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.
