Don Julio 70th Anejo Cristalino Tequila 750ml
Description
Don Julio 70 Añejo Cristalino pioneered the cristalino category, being the world’s first añejo claro when it launched to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Don Julio González’s first distillery. This innovative expression undergoes a unique filtration process that removes the color while preserving the complex flavors developed during 18 months of aging. It’s a tequila that changed the industry forever.
Crystal clear in appearance, the nose reveals the paradox of this revolutionary spirit. Despite its clarity, rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak emerge immediately. There’s a brightness here that traditional añejos lack—fresh agave notes shine through alongside the barrel influence, creating a unique aromatic profile. Hints of honey, citrus, and light spice add further complexity.
The palate delivers an incredibly smooth experience that combines the best of both worlds. The filtration process has created a silky texture that carries flavors of butterscotch, vanilla, and gentle oak without the heaviness of traditional añejo. Fresh agave character remains prominent, balanced by the sweetness and spice from aging. The finish is clean and elegant, with lingering notes of caramel, citrus, and subtle oak. This groundbreaking expression continues to define the cristalino category.
