Hola! Welcome back to my Tequila blog.
If you read my previous post, you are already aware of the several types of Tequila. However, I want to tell you about a trend which you probably did not know about.
A whole new spirit experience…
Tequila Cristalino
This one is my personal favorite…but what is it?
Cristalino (Crystal) is usually an Añejo or Extra Añejo that has been filtered with activated charcoal. This filtration process enhances the aromas and flavors of agave, citrus and fruit notes typically characteristic of a Blanco, as well as its color while retaining the vanilla and caramel notes representative from Añejo and also offering a rounded mouth feel with a notable and smooth texture.
The original goal of this was to add layered complexity to the spirit by enhancing the flavors that are often overwhelmed by wood aging. The clear color, was actually an unintended product of the filtration process. The result…a perfect hybrid!
Cristalino is actually the fastest growing Tequila category and has had a big impact on the market. It has also broadened this spirit’s appeal to younger millennials, specially women.
So, wether you were already a fan of sipping Tequila or you are just getting interested after reading my blog, Tequila Cristalino is definitely worth exploring.
In this video you can find a super easy recipe to make a “Cazuela”, a popular drink from my hometown. Simple, yet, delicious and refreshing.
