José Cuervo Tradicional Cristalino
Origin: Jalisco, Mexico Composition: 100% Blue Agave Size: 750ml ABV: 40% (80 Proof)
Experience the perfect paradox of tequila craftsmanship with Jose Cuervo Tradicional Cristalino. This "crystal clear" spirit offers the visual clarity of a Blanco with the profound depth and complexity of a luxury aged tequila.
This exclusive expression is a masterful blend, marrying the vibrant Tradicional Reposado (aged in new American oak) with the legendary Reserva de la Familia Extra Añejo (matured in a combination of French and American oak). After the aging process is complete, the tequila undergoes a meticulous filtration to remove the amber color while simultaneously concentrating and intensifying the purity of the flavors.
Tasting Notes
Tradicional Cristalino is designed for the ultimate sipping experience, offering exceptional smoothness and a sophisticated flavor journey.
- The Nose: Surprisingly complex for its clear appearance. It opens with the crisp, clean scent of agave, followed quickly by delicate notes of dried fruits and honey inherited from the Extra Añejo blend.
- The Palate: Luxuriously silky and medium-bodied. The entry is bright with cooked agave, which quickly evolves into rich layers of toasted oak, vanilla, and a hint of melon. The American and French oak influence provides a structured, velvet-like mouthfeel.
- The Finish: Ultra-smooth and clean. It leaves a lingering sweetness of caramel and subtle spice, without the bite often found in younger spirits.
Why It Is a Standout
- The Best of Both Worlds: It delivers the "sipping" status of an aged Extra Añejo with a crisp, refreshing profile that appeals to those who prefer the purity of a silver tequila.
- Elite Pedigree: By incorporating Reserva de la Familia, Cuervo’s most prestigious stock, this Cristalino offers a high-end tasting experience at an accessible price point.
- Exceptional Smoothness: The filtration process specifically targets harsh tannins, resulting in a spirit that is incredibly approachable for both connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
Serving Suggestion
To truly appreciate the "purity of flavors," serve Jose Cuervo Tradicional Cristalino neat in a snifter or over one large, clear ice cube. It also serves as a brilliant base for a "Crystal Clear Margarita," allowing the cocktail to remain visually stunning while providing a surprisingly aged flavor profile.

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.
