Flecha Azul Añejo Cristalino is a triple-filtered 100% agave tequila matured for 18 months in hand-selected, bourbon-seasoned American oak barrels and bottled at 40% ABV.
Flecha Azul is a testament to the time-honoured artistry of a multi-generational, family-owned distillery, where respect for land and heritage remains a priority from plant to bottle.
The Cristalino captures all the warmth of Flecha Azul's traditional añejo while remaining light and soft on the palate. Eighteen months in ex-bourbon barrels impart vanilla, coconut and subtle baking spice; the aroma is balanced and full, with dark chocolate, subtle vanilla and oak, and the finish is long, indulgent and beyond smooth.
Crystal clear in its sleek bottle, it is an elegant gift for those who love aged tequila but prefer a lighter pour.
Enjoy it neat, chilled, or over a large ice cube.
Añejo tequila is aged between one and three years in oak barrels of no more than 600 litres, long enough to add colour, sweetness and spice while keeping the character of the agave, which makes it a natural sipping tequila.
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.
