It is the bottle for someone who wants añejo depth without the weight that usually comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade at NOM 1477 in El Arenal, Jalisco, from Blue Weber agave grown on the Partida family's own land — six generations of agave farming preceded the distillery, which the family built next to their fields in 1999 and fitted with its first alembic still the following year. The tequila rests 18 to 24 months in French white oak before activated carbon filtration removes the amber the wood gave it. What survives the filter is the flavor; what leaves is the color. Retail listings for this expression show bottling strengths between 36% and 40% ABV depending on market, and Cava de Oro does not publish a single figure across all territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, bright vanilla, lime zest, orange blossom, and a light dusting of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, cooked agave, white chocolate, toasted oak, green pepper, and a clean mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is silky and long, closing dry rather than sweet — the filtration takes some of the sugar impression with the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCristalinos live or die on whether filtration hollows the spirit out. This one keeps its agave center because the base añejo is aged in French white oak, which contributes finer tannin and less vanillin than the American oak most of the category uses — there is simply less color to strip in the first place. Against the house's amber Añejo, this reads brighter and more citrus-driven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled but undiluted, in a stemmed copita, or over a single large cube. Pairs well with raw oysters or aguachile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this tequila?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn añejo cristalino: aged tequila that has been carbon-filtered back to clarity, made from 100% estate-grown blue agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e750mL, 18–24 months in French white oak, NOM 1477, 100% blue agave.
