PATRÓN Cristalino: The Tequila Innovation Shaking Up the Scene
PATRÓN introduced a new player to their lineup that has quickly captured the attention of tequila lovers and connoisseurs alike—PATRÓN Cristalino. While Cristalino añejo tequilas have been gaining momentum in recent years, this latest release from PATRÓN has managed to cut through the noise, earning prestigious accolades and solidifying its place as one of the best in its category.
At the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC), PATRÓN Cristalino took home a gold medal, with judges praising its exceptional smoothness and refined taste. More recently, at the Latin American World Spirits Competition (LAWSC), the tequila was named Best-in-Class Cristalino, further affirming its status as a standout in the world of aged tequilas.
What makes PATRÓN Cristalino so special? The tequila is crafted using only the finest ingredients—100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and yeast—combined with both traditional and modern techniques. The process begins at Hacienda PATRÓN, where the agave is extracted using both the roller mill and tahona methods. The liquid is then fermented in wood vats in small batches, allowing the natural flavors to develop slowly.
The tequila is aged for 12 to 15 months in a blend of four different casks, giving it a complex yet balanced profile with notes of baked agave and rich woody sweetness. What truly sets PATRÓN Cristalino apart, however, is its filtration process: the aged añejo is filtered through wood charcoal, removing any impurities and resulting in a tequila that is crystal clear and incredibly smooth—without the use of additives.
Beyond its exceptional taste, PATRÓN Cristalino is also a feast for the eyes. The bottle is designed with a sophisticated, modern aesthetic, featuring a piña-patterned label, metallic neck tag, and black wooden cork. It reflects the craftsmanship and artistry that defines the spirit inside.
Whether you sip it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, PATRÓN Cristalino offers a refined and versatile experience that’s bound to impress. Available now at select retailers like Total Wine, Sip Whiskey, and Corked, PATRÓN Cristalino is priced at $79 and is a must-try for those seeking a sophisticated tequila experience.
With its smooth finish, distinctive clarity, and remarkable craftsmanship, PATRÓN Cristalino is poised to be a standout for years to come, proving once again why PATRÓN remains a leader in the world of tequila.
