San Matias Cristal Anejo Cristalino Tequila 750ml
DescriptionSan Matias Cristal combines centuries of tradition with modern innovation, creating a cristalino that honors the past while embracing the future. This crystal-clear añejo represents the family's willingness to evolve while maintaining the quality standards built over generations.
The cristalino process transforms San Matias' traditional añejo into something revolutionary. Crystal clear in appearance, it presents a fascinating aromatic paradox – the complex notes of aged tequila without the visual cues. Vanilla, caramel, and subtle oak from añejo aging are present but refined, filtered to clarity while maintaining character. The family's traditional production methods ensure depth even after filtration. On the palate, Cristal delivers the smoothness of aged tequila with the brightness of blanco. Butterscotch, light toffee, and toasted almond flavors emerge, balanced by fresh agave notes that seem impossible for an aged spirit.
What makes San Matias Cristal special is how it bridges tradition and innovation. The family's expertise in traditional aging provides the foundation, while modern filtration techniques create something new. The result respects both heritage and progress. The finish is remarkably smooth and clean, with lingering vanilla and agave notes that showcase successful innovation. Perfect for those who appreciate when old families learn new tricks, San Matias Cristal proves that tradition and innovation can create beautiful harmony. This is heritage viewed through a modern lens.
