San Matias Cristal Anejo Tequila
San Matias Cristal Anejo Tequila is the cristalino that keeps its age and loses its color — an 80-proof (40% ABV) añejo tequila in a 750mL bottle from Casa San Matías, aged 18 months in American white oak barrels and then filtered to brilliant clarity. Made with 100% blue Weber agave from Los Altos de Jalisco at NOM 1103, it delivers the vanilla, chocolate, roasted coffee, and nutmeg depth of an añejo with the clean, polished texture only a cristalino offers. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Aged Like an Añejo, Polished Like Glass
Cristalino is tequila's elegant contradiction: all the barrel character of an añejo, none of the color. Casa San Matías — one of Jalisco's historic houses — rests this expression a full 18 months in American oak, then filters it to transparency, keeping the cooked-agave sweetness, vanilla, and soft oak while adding a silky, luminous finish. It is built for drinkers who want añejo complexity in a cleaner, more modern pour. Browse the San Matias collection or explore more tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Vanilla, chocolate, roasted coffee, and nutmeg on the nose with cooked agave underneath; smooth and balanced on the palate — agave sweetness, soft oak, gentle spice, and a whisper of olive; a clean, polished finish with lingering vanilla and roasted coffee (per retailer consensus).
How to Enjoy
Neat or chilled to taste the filtration polish; over a large cube for slow sipping; or in a premium Margarita or Paloma where its aged depth elevates the cocktail.
