Cristalino Tequila
Cristalino refers to a category of spirits, including tequila, that undergoes special filtration or aging techniques to achieve a clear appearance while preserving intricate flavors and complexity. Typically, these spirits are aged in oak barrels to develop flavor and then filtered to remove color and impurities, resulting in a transparent liquid.
In tequila production, Cristalino tequilas are admired for their smoothness akin to blanco (unaged) tequila, yet they retain the nuanced characteristics of aged varieties. This process has made Cristalino a popular choice for cocktails and appeals to both traditional enthusiasts and those seeking a refined drinking experience. Various brands offer their own interpretations of Cristalino, each highlighting unique production methods and flavor profiles.
