Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Añejo Cristalino Tequila

Description

Reserva de la Familia Cristalino is made from organically grown agave harvested at average age of seven years old. The tequila is matured for a minimum of one year in virgin American oak barrels, before being finished for about six months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks from Spain. Then the tequila undergoes a proprietary filtration process to remove the color. On the nose, there are notes of cherry, raisin, grape, vanilla, and a faint whiff of agave. The palate opens with more vanilla, followed by banana, chocolate, raisin, dark berries, and a bit of lemon custard. There is little spice present, and the palate veers more towards the sweeter side with the agave notes being fairly muted.
