El Destilador Cristalino Tequila
El Destilador Cristalino Tequila is a 40% ABV (80 proof) cristalino in a 750mL bottle — a triple-distilled añejo that has been filtered crystal-clear. The color the barrel gave it is gone; the aged character stays: triple-distilled smoothness with the depth of barrel rest, in a brilliant, luminous pour.

Clear as Blanco, Deep as Anejo
Cristalino is the category for drinkers who want both: the visual clarity of a blanco and the developed flavor of an añejo. El Destilador starts with its triple-distilled spirit — already smoother than most — rests it as an añejo, then filters it brilliant. What pours is luminous and clean, with the roundness of age underneath. Explore more El Destilador or browse the tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Expect a luminous, crystal-clear pour with the triple-distilled house character: clean cooked-agave notes, fine wood, and a smooth, rounded palate — aged depth without the barrel color.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on ice to taste the filtration paradox — or in a premium clear cocktail (a cristalino margarita is a genuine upgrade) where the aged smoothness shows through.
