DON JULIO 70 Cristalino Añejo

Don Julio 70® Añejo Cristalino tequila is the culmination of 70 years of knowledge, experience and innovation that combines the smoothness of a Blanco tequila and the complexity of an Añejo tequila to offer a completely unique tequila experience. Don Julio 70® Añejo Cristalino tequila is aged eighteen months in American white oak barrels and then carefully filtered to bring out its fresh agave flavour.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: At first glance, Don Julio 70 Cristalino Añejo impresses with its purity and transparency. It does not have the golden hue that characterizes aged tequilas, but appears completely clear, similar to crystal. This clean appearance reflects the filtering process that the tequila goes through after aging, which eliminates any color nuances but preserves all its complexity and depth in flavor. Its clarity conveys a sense of elegance and distinction, inviting you to enjoy its contents.

NOSE: The first contact with the glass reveals a surprisingly balanced and fresh aromatic profile. The initial aromas are soft and enveloping, with a prominent presence of vanilla and toasted caramel, which intertwine perfectly with the subtle essence of light oak. As the tequila breathes, notes of dried fruits, such as almond and walnut, begin to appear, with hints of cooked agave, which provide a slightly earthy and herbal character. The aroma is clean and well-structured, without being overwhelming, which prepares the palate for a smooth but complex experience at the same time.

TASTE: Upon taking the first sip, Don Julio 70 Cristalino glides smoothly across the palate with a silky texture that envelops the mouth. The entry is smooth, but a complexity of flavors quickly develops. Notes of vanilla and caramel remain present, complemented by a subtle touch of oak wood, which is elegant and not dominant. The flavor profile transforms with the appearance of ripe fruits such as pear and caramelized apple, which provide a sweet and juicy touch. Throughout its journey across the palate, the essence of sweet agave can be sensed, a fresh and slightly spicy touch that enhances the overall smoothness of the tequila. The finish is long, persistent and delicate, leaving a pleasant sensation of dried fruits and a slight oak aftertaste that invites you to take another sip.
