Patrón Cristalino Añejo Tequila — 375ml | 40% ABV
A Clear Expression of Aged Complexity Patrón Cristalino is a premium Añejo tequila that has been aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 12 to 15 months. After maturation, the spirit undergoes a proprietary charcoal filtration process. This "Cristalino" method removes the amber color and wood tannins imparted by the barrel, resulting in a crystal-clear tequila that retains the complex vanilla and oak notes of an Añejo but with the crisp, bright finish of a Blanco.
Premium Craftsmanship in a Convenient Format Produced at Hacienda Patrón (NOM 1492), this expression is crafted using the traditional tahona wheel and roller mill methods. This 375ml "half-bottle" format is ideal for gifting, travel, or those looking to sample a ultra-premium aged spirit. It offers a smooth, silky mouthfeel that is designed for neat sipping or as a sophisticated base for a clear "Crystal" Margarita.
