Patron Cristalino (750Ml)

Description

Patrón Cristalino begins life as Patrón Añejo. It is made at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico, from just three things: 100% Blue Weber agave, water and yeast. The agave is crushed two ways, with a roller mill and with a tahona, a heavy stone wheel. The juice then ferments in small batches in wooden vats.

Next comes time in wood. The tequila ages for 12 to 15 months across four different types of casks. After that, it is filtered through wood charcoal. The filter strips out the color but keeps the aged flavor. So it looks like a blanco, yet it drinks like an añejo.

Lift the glass and you will find butterscotch, creamy vanilla and lightly cooked agave. The palate follows the same path, with soft caramel and a light brush of oak. The sweetness is gentle and never sticky. The finish is velvety and smooth, with a little warmth at the end.

Sip it neat or over a large ice cube to enjoy that silky texture. Patrón also likes it with soda or in a Cristalino Margarita. If you want a polished cocktail, try it in an Old Fashioned-style serve. It sits nicely next to grilled seafood, roasted meats or a dark chocolate dessert.

Pick this bottle if you love smooth, layered tequila and care about how it is made. It also looks stunning on a bar cart. If you want a bold, peppery agave punch, a blanco will give you more of that.
