Don Ramon Reposado Cristalino Tequila
Don Ramon Reposado Cristalino Tequila is clarity meeting complexity — 80 proof (40% ABV), 750mL, made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco. Double-distilled, rested for six months in a combination of American and French oak, then charcoal-filtered to remove the color while keeping the character: all the depth of a reposado with the crystalline elegance of a blanco. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Best of Both Expressions
Cristalino is tequila's cleverest trick: take a properly aged reposado — six months in two kinds of oak — then filter out the amber color the barrels gave it. What remains is a crystal-clear spirit with the vanilla, spice, and roundness of barrel age and the brightness of a blanco. Don Ramon's Platinium bottling doubles down with dual-oak maturation for layered aromatics: wood, chocolate, cinnamon, and soft vanilla.
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear with a faint straw tint. Warm wood, spice, chocolate, and cinnamon on the nose with a whisper of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth — citrus zest, roasted nuts, velvety vanilla, gentle oak. A long, elegant finish of lingering oak spice and soft fruit.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over a large cube to showcase the creamy texture — this is a sipper first. It also elevates tequila cocktails: a Cristalino Old Fashioned or a top-shelf Margarita. Explore the rest of the Don Ramón range, including the Plata, for the full lineup.
