An Añejo That Looks Like a Blanco
Lunazul Primero takes a fully aged añejo — eighteen months in bourbon-style oak — and runs it through eight filtrations that strip the color while keeping the flavor. The result is an "añejo claro": the depth of an aged tequila with the clarity and mixability of a blanco, sold under both the Primero and Primero Cristalino names. It is the thinking drinker's answer to the cristalino category — oak character without the amber — and a 90-point Ultimate Spirits Challenge scorer at a fraction of luxury-cristalino prices. A standout among añejo tequilas and the Lunazul flagship worth knowing by name.
Tasting Notes
Brand and retailer notes describe a complex nose of sweet oak, caramel, apple, and florals; a full-bodied palate of cooked agave, oak, aniseed, citrus, caramel, and cinnamon; and a long, lingering, spicy finish. TIPXY notes vanilla, tropical fruits, caramel, baking spices, and eucalyptus.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the añejo depth, or as the most interesting blanco-style mixer on your bar — it upgrades margaritas and Palomas with eighteen months of oak character.
