Necesita Cristalino is a 100% agave reposado tequila filtered to crystal clarity, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Cristalino tequilas are aged in oak and then filtered, often through charcoal, to remove the colour while keeping the smooth, rounded character of the barrel.
The result is clear in the glass with soft vanilla and cooked agave.
The bottle pairs a clear decanter with a bright orange label and 'Tequila' in flowing script.
Necesita, Spanish for 'need', makes a smooth sipping tequila and an easy, elegant base for a Paloma or Margarita.
