Adictivo Reposado Cristalino is a crystal-clear reposado tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, aged eight months in French oak barrels and then charcoal filtered, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Created by master distiller Gildardo Partida and produced at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro (NOM 1477) in El Arenal, Jalisco, it begins with agave harvested at peak maturity. The piñas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, then fermented and double distilled. After ageing, a careful charcoal filtration removes colour, leaving a tequila that keeps the nuance of a reposado with the crispness of a blanco.
The nose offers cooked agave, light oak and subtle vanilla and caramel. The palate is smooth and velvety with sweet agave, toasted oak and a touch of citrus, carried by a mild agave profile that is easy to drink.
Presented in Adictivo's sculptural bottle, it makes a striking gift.
Sip it neat or chilled, or over a large ice cube.
Reposado, meaning rested, is tequila aged between two months and a year in oak, which gives it a pale gold colour and a gentle touch of wood while keeping the agave bright and lively.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
