Frequently Asked Questions

Casamigos Cristalino Reposado Tequila is the pinnacle of craftsmanship and flavor, made from 100% hand-selected Blue Weber agaves grown in the rich red clay of Jalisco, Mexico. Expertly aged in American white oak barrels for up to seven months, this exceptional tequila undergoes a meticulous charcoal filtration process that removes its golden hue while preserving the rich and complex flavors of reposado aging. The result is a crystal-clear spirit with a crisp, clean aroma of cocoa, caramel, and agave, accompanied by a silky-smooth palate featuring notes of oaky vanilla bean, dried raisin, and fig. Perfect for sipping neat or elevating cocktails, Casamigos Cristalino offers a luxurious tequila experience that balances traditional techniques with modern innovation.

Process & Profile

Casamigos Cristalino Tequila begins its journey in the rich red clay soil of Jalisco's Highlands, where the finest Blue Weber agave is cultivated. The agave hearts are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, releasing their natural sugars for an unmistakable flavor foundation. After extra-slow fermentation, the spirit is distilled twice and aged in American white oak barrels, where it acquires complexity and depth. A final step of careful charcoal filtration restores the crisp agave essence of a blanco tequila while retaining the nuanced cask character of a reposado. The result is a tequila with a captivating crystal-clear appearance and a smooth, luxurious profile.
