Partida Anejo Cristalino Tequila

Partida's Añejo Cristalino is the house calls a diamond of duality — the eighteen-month añejo filtered to the clarity of a blanco, from the brand InsideHook calls the single malt of tequilas. Gary Shansby, the marketer behind Famous Amos and Vitamin Water, founded Partida around 2005 with Sofía Partida, whose uncle Enrique Partida farmed 5,000 acres of agave in Amatitán; the brand is made at NOM 1502 in the Tequila valley from estate agave grown ten years. The Cristalino is Partida Añejo — 100% estate blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in steel ovens, distilled twice in stainless stills, aged eighteen months in ex-bourbon barrels — naturally filtered to remove all color while keeping the body, and bottled at 40% ABV, additive-free. The house, on the Añejo underneath: oak, chocolate, dried fruit, and butter on the nose, black and green pepper, white oak, vanilla, and maple honey on the palate, with the agave still present at eighteen months; Agave Matchmaker's tasters call the Añejo the best of the core line. Expect that añejo's chocolate, dried fruit, and maple in a clear glass with a clean, spiced finish. Honest note: cristalino divides purists, and this is one of the rare additive-free ones from a single estate — the chilled sipper for the drinker who wants añejo depth with no color and no glycerin. Chilled, neat, or in a Cristalino Margarita. Partida, clear.
