Volcán De Mi Tierra Añejo Cristalino Tequila
Volcán De Mi Tierra Añejo Cristalino Tequila is the house's flagship aged expression: an añejo blend finished in ex-whisky and ex-Cognac casks, then charcoal-filtered to crystal clarity at 80 proof (40% ABV) in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Volcán de mi Tierra is crafted at NOM 1523 in the Jalisco Highlands from 100% Blue Weber agave. For this añejo cristalino, they rest two aged components together — añejo matured in ex-whisky casks and extra añejo matured in ex-Cognac barrels — then filter the blend clear, keeping the depth of barrel aging with the polish of a blanco.
Tasting notes: caramel, vanilla, and chocolate from the barrels; dried and stone fruit, roasted agave, and a whisper of pepper underneath.
Why buy the Añejo Cristalino? Because it drinks like an añejo and sips like a blanco — barrel depth without the heaviness — making it the most versatile bottle in the Volcán range. Browse the cristalino tequila collection, the Volcán De Mi Tierra brand collection, and the full tequila collection.
Serving note: serve lightly chilled neat, or over a single large cube; also built for premium clear-tequila cocktails.
