1800 Cristalino - Tequila To The Nth degree of Refinement

by Andrew Chalk

Just when you were thinking that tequilla got darker as it got more sophistiated. Just as you graduated from silver, to reposada, to añejo with progressively longer periods of oak age. Along comes 1800 Cristalino with the appearance of silver, the body of an añejo, and a taste more subtle, more complex, more lingering, more seductive than anything you had before.

They say a picture isworth a thousand words. Well, one sip of cristalino is worth a million. Try some today from (Drizly & ReserveBar). If you like your tequila blended then the recipe below might interest you.
