Luxury tequila brand Tequila Avión has expanded its exclusive Reserva Range with the launch of Avión Reserva Cristalino, a "crystal-clear" aged tequila that expertly blends 12-month-old añejo with 3-year-old extra añejo. According to the company, this unique combination works to create an "unparalleled clarity and smoothness."
Further elevating Avión Reserva Cristalino is the brand's use of a doubled-charcoal filtration process, which removes impurities while enhancing the expression's floral and fruity characteristics. Furthermore, the tequila's one-of-kind complexity allows it to conjure notes of vanilla, oak, spices, and nutiness, making it a particularly unique tasting experience.
"Taking inspiration from across spirits categories and working outside the box with a range of flavor profiles and blends, I am proud of what we created together: a Cristalino with age and complexity, balance and nuance, but one that is a tequila first – showcasing our beloved agave," said Virginia Miller, a renowned spirits and food critic who worked on creating the new tequila.
