An Añejo, Filtered to Crystal
Cristalino is the paradox pour: all the roundness of a 12-month oak rest, none of the color. Tres Generaciones rests its triple-distilled añejo in American white oak for a year, then filters it through diatomaceous earth — a gentle process that lifts the color while rounding the flavor, leaving the caramel and toasted oak intact. Three generations of the Sauza family stand behind the brand, distilled at La Perseverancia since 1873. Browse more Tres Generaciones or the store's tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Light wood, honeyed vanilla, toasted oak, light-cooked agave, and a hint of caramel-vanilla on the nose; a creamy palate of brown sugar, soft oak, and clean agave — round and smooth; a warm, oaky finish with a whisper of smoke.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat or over a single cube — cristalino is built for sipping, not mixing. Let it open in the glass; the toasted-oak notes deepen after a few minutes.
