The skull cap crowning the bottle pays homage to the stories that have echoed through generations. When you hold El 5to Mes Reposado Cristalino, you're not just holding a bottle but a piece of history.
A Journey Through Flavor: Tasting Notes
- Appearance: It is crystal clear, brilliant, and silver-hued. It truly lives up to the "cristalino" name, showing no color despite its reposado aging.
- Nose: The initial aromas are surprisingly vibrant and fresh, defying the expectation of a typical reposado. Bright citrus notes of lime zest and grapefruit peel dance with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of agave nectar. There's a delicate floral quality, perhaps a hint of white blossom, intertwined with a whisper of vanilla and a touch of cooked pear. The oak influence, while present, is remarkably restrained, offering a clean and elegant backdrop rather than dominating the profile.
- Palate: The entry is smooth and silky, coating the palate gently. The cooked agave flavors come forward beautifully, offering a pleasant sweetness balanced by a refreshing minerality. The citrus notes from the nose carry through, and a subtle white pepper spice adds a pleasant lift. The oak influence manifests as a delicate vanilla and a hint of toasted almond, providing complexity without overpowering the brighter agave character.
- Finish: Clean and medium in length, the citrus and agave notes linger, gracefully fading with a final whisper of vanilla and a refreshing, almost saline minerality. A surprising lack of the heavier oak notes sometimes associated with reposados leaves a bright and vibrant impression.
El 5to Mes Reposado Cristalino offers a fascinating and unique experience. It masterfully blends a reposado's rested character with the crispness and clarity of a blanco. This tequila showcases the purity of the agave while adding subtle layers of complexity from its time in oak. It's incredibly smooth and approachable, making it enjoyable neat or in premium cocktails where you want the agave to shine through without the color.
The Quintessence of Agave: 100% Purity
El 5to Mes Reposado Cristalino is not just a tequila; it's a commitment to purity. Made exclusively from 100% Agave, it upholds the highest standards of tequila production. With every sip, you taste the essence of the blue agave plant, cultivated and distilled to perfection. This tequila embodies the spirit of Tequila, Jalisco, and the artistry of its people. It's more than a drink; it's an experience that connects you to the heart and soul of Mexico.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
