Avion Tequila

Avión is a Jalisco highlands tequila that launched in 2010 and built its name on one idea: a lighter, cleaner, sweeter style of 100% blue Weber agave that works as well neat as it does in a margarita. The brand is now part of Pernod Ricard, and its range runs from an unaged silver to some of the smoothest aged tequila on our shelves. This collection gathers every Avión bottle we carry, with notes on which to pick.

Avión Silver

Avión Silver ($61.99) is the core of the range: crisp, slightly sweet agave with black pepper, citrus peel and a soft finish. It is unaged, so it belongs in a margarita, a paloma or a ranch water, and it is gentle enough to sip chilled. Compare it with other unaged bottles in our blanco tequila collection.

Avión Reserva 44 Extra Añejo

Avión Reserva 44 ($99.99) is the bottle most people know. It is an extra añejo, aged for more than three years and then finished for 44 hours in small barrels that are turned by hand, which gives it a silky, dessert-like profile of crème brûlée, orange peel and toasted nuts. It is a natural gift for someone who usually drinks Cognac or bourbon. Our guide Extra Añejo Tequila, Explained compares it with seven other extra añejos, including El Tesoro Extra Añejo.

Avión Reserva Cristalino

Avión Reserva Cristalino ($124.99) is aged tequila that has been filtered clear. Filtering takes out the color and some of the heavier oak, so you keep the vanilla and caramel but with a lighter, brighter body. Serve it neat, on one large ice cube, or in a tequila old fashioned.

How to choose

Buy the Silver for cocktails, the Cristalino for an easy-going sipper, and the Reserva 44 for a gift or a slow after-dinner pour.
