Jose Cuervo Tradicional Cristalino Tequila

Tradicional Cristalino is Cuervo's flagship 100% agave line filtered clear — the añejo-aged Tradicional, charcoal-stripped of its color, from the house that popularized the category. José Cuervo Tradicional is the family's original recipe, the 100% blue Weber agave tequila made at La Rojeña, NOM 1122 — the oldest working distillery in the Americas, in the town of Tequila — and the line that separates the Cuervo the enthusiasts respect from the Cuervo Especial mixto the world knows. The Cristalino is Tradicional aged in oak as an añejo, then filtered through charcoal to remove the color while keeping the barrel's vanilla and caramel, and bottled at 40% ABV. Expect a nose of cooked agave, vanilla, honey, and a faint toasted oak, opening into a smooth, gently sweet palate of agave, caramel, and light spice with a clean finish and no color to give the age away. Honest note: cristalino divides purists — filtration takes character with color — and this is the affordable, 100%-agave way into the category from the house that made it a thing; Uproxx ranks the Tradicional line well above Especial and well below Reserva de la Familia, which is exactly where it sits. Chilled, neat, or in a Cristalino Margarita. Tradicional, clear.
