Pasión Añejo Cristalino is an aged tequila filtered to crystal clarity, bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle. Aged for up to two years, it keeps the smoothness of an añejo with the bright look of a blanco.
After ageing, the tequila goes through a filtration process that removes its amber colour, leaving it crystalline while preserving the aromas from the wood.
The result is medium-bodied, with fresh agave on the nose and light woody, sweet notes on the palate.
Its sleek bottle with a blue-and-silver label makes it an elegant gift for fans of the cristalino style.
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.
