Volcán de mi Tierra Cristalino is a blend of añejo and extra añejo tequilas, filtered to crystal clarity. The brand is a partnership between Moët Hennessy and the Gallardo family, descendants of a long line of Jalisco tequila makers, and takes its name from the Tequila volcano that towers over the agave fields.
The añejo component rests for a year in American oak, and the extra añejo for three years, in casks that include whisky and cognac barrels. After blending, the tequila is filtered to remove its colour while keeping the depth of the oak.
The result is silky smooth, with tobacco, dried fruit, chocolate, caramel and vanilla over cooked agave, and a long finish touched with pepper, tropical fruit and honey.
Its clear, mountain-etched bottle is a striking gift, and the tequila is equally rewarding neat or on ice.
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.
