Cenote Cristalino 0.7L

The Cenote Cristalino is an Añejo tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, which, after twelve months of aging in American oak barrels, is stripped of its color through activated carbon filtration. The result is a clear tequila with the depth of an Añejo and the freshness of a Blanco.

Cenote comes from Yucatán, a region that owes its name to the underground freshwater lakes of the Maya peninsula. The distillery works with agaves that are cooked in an oven using traditional methods before the mash is fermented and double-distilled. The subsequent filtration removes the oak color but leaves the aromas gained from barrel aging largely intact.

In the glass, vanilla and soft caramel notes from the oak aging appear, underscored by cooked agave, a hint of white pepper, and a slightly floral line. The finish is smooth and lingering. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Neat in a nosing glass, the aroma profile is best showcased—but the Cristalino is also suitable as a base for a mezcal-free Tommy's Margarita or over a large ice cube.
