Cazadores Añejo Cristalino Tequila

Product Description

Cazadores Añejo Cristalino: An Añejo in Disguise

Tequila Cazadores, Spanish for "hunters," symbolizes founder Señor Jose Maria's relentless pursuit of the world's finest premium tequila. Añejo Cristalino carries that legacy forward with a modern twist, delivering all the rich, aged character of a traditional añejo in a strikingly crystal-clear presentation, a style that's become increasingly popular among tequila drinkers looking for depth without the golden color.

How Cazadores Añejo Cristalino Is Made

This tequila starts with 100% Blue Weber agave from the highland region of Jalisco, where agaves reach a minimum maturity of six years to ensure high sugar content and quality. After a seven-day double fermentation process and two rounds of distillation, the spirit ages two years in virgin American oak barrels, absorbing deep notes of toasted wood and nutty richness. From there, a slow, careful filtration process removes the golden color entirely while preserving the full aromatic and flavor profile built during aging. It's bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cooked agave, chocolate, pear, and honeysuckle, with hints of mellow wood, almond, and green apple.

Palate: Wood, vanilla, and cinnamon, carrying the sensory qualities of a traditional añejo despite its clear appearance.

Finish: Warm and creamy, smooth and satisfying.

Food Pairings

The chocolate and honeysuckle character in this cristalino pairs well with a dark chocolate tart, roasted almonds, or a spiced apple crisp. Its vanilla and cinnamon notes also complement a plate of churros with dulce de leche.

Serving Suggestions

Cazadores Añejo Cristalino is best enjoyed chilled, straight from the freezer for an ice-cold sipping experience that highlights the contrast between its cozy flavors and cool temperature. It also holds up well in a Cristalino Margarita for a refined take on a classic.
