Detailed Description
The typical cristalino process begins much like any other tequila – with agave. El Mayor uses only 100% Blue Agave. Once the agave is selected, the hearts of the agave head to the distillery to be cooked and fermented. Then, the tequila begins its aging process. Once aged, the tequila is an añejo. The finished añejo is carefully filtered through ultra-fine charcoal, removing the golden brown color. The result is a stunningly clear tequila that maintains the robust character of an añejo while delivering the crisp finish of a blanco. A cristalino truly is the best of both worlds!
Distillery Information
The distillery, DGL Destiladores (Destiladora González Luxco), is located just outside the city of Arandas, in the highlands of Jalisco – a prime location for the superior agave used in these premium tequilas. DGL denys the decades-old partnership in making tequila between the Lux and González families.
