El Cristiano XR Reposado Tequila

Product Description

El Cristiano XR: An Entirely New Category in Reposado

El Cristiano XR Extra Reposado isn't trying to fit neatly into an existing box, it builds a new one. XR represents an entirely different approach to reposado tequila, a delicate blend of tequila aged 11 months, well beyond the standard reposado minimum, and rested across two distinct barrel types: ex-bourbon American oak and ex-red wine French oak. The result is a tequila that sits at the intersection of elegance and indulgence, offering layered sweetness, refined texture, and complexity rarely seen at this stage of aging.

This isn't about heavier oak or louder barrel influence. XR is about balance. American oak brings warmth, vanilla, and caramelized sweetness, while French oak contributes structure, fruit nuance, and floral lift. Together, they create a reposado that drinks silky and polished, without losing the integrity of 100% puro de agave at its core. Crafted from the finest Blue Weber Agave grown in the Jalisco Highlands, El Cristiano is produced in Arandas, a town celebrated for its rich culture, warm hospitality, and deep-rooted tequila heritage.

El Cristiano's mission extends well beyond the bottle. A portion of every sale goes to the El Cristiano Foundation, which works to improve the lives of women and children in Arandas. The brand maintains a 100% female workforce in Mexico, paid above-average wages, and supports every orphanage in the town, ensuring sustainability is a core value not only in the fields but throughout the entire community.
