1800 Cristalino 100% Agave Anejo Tequila (700ml)
Matured in French and American oak barrels, finished in x-port casks, then charcoal filtered to restore its clear appearance, 1800's Cristalino falls somewhere between an Anejo and a Blanco. Bottling at just 35% ABV makes for a featherweight tequila, smooth and accessible with a delicacy and lightness that approaches vodka. Warming peppers and a low-definition waxy-agave character shine through the finish. Use it as a shooter or in Summer cocktails.
Other reviews... Clear color. Aromas and flavors of apple cider vinegar, brown butter, pastry dough, and toasted sesame with a round, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish with impressions of tart green apple, sweet cream, lemon curd, almond cookie, and fresh cut grass. A light, citrusy Cristalino Tequila to be enjoyed in the sun. 92 points - tastings.com
