Tres Aromas Extra Aged Cristalino Tequila
Tres Aromas Extra Aged Cristalino Tequila is 100% Blue Agave rested for a full 24 months in French oak — then passed through activated-carbon filtration to strip away color and harsh wood notes, leaving a crystal-clear tequila that drinks like an aged spirit. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 750mL bottle from NOM 1477, it carries the cooked-agave heart of a great reposado-plus with the silk of a cristalino. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Two Years in French Oak, Filtered to Crystal
Most cristalinos are aged for months; Tres Aromas commits to two full years in French oak before filtration — an unusually long rest that builds real wood character (chocolate, vanilla, pure oak) into the spirit. The activated-carbon step then pulls out the heaviest compounds — color, bitter notes, excess wood — without stripping the agave soul. Importer Mara Imports describes an apricot-and-peach nose over cooked agave with a persistent, elegant finish. It is the cristalino for drinkers who found other cristalinos too young-tasting.
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear and bright in the glass. The nose opens with fresh apricot, peach, and cooked agave; the palate follows with soft, subtle notes of pure wood, chocolate, vanilla, and cooked agave. The finish is persistent and elegant — agave first, wood second, sweetness never.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat at room temperature or with a single large cube to appreciate the extra-aged character — or use it as the premium base for a cristalino margarita where the agave depth will carry the citrus. If you browse tequila or the Tres Aromas range, this is the bottle to benchmark the brand against.
