The Cristalino takes the brand's añejo — matured over a year in American white oak — and filters out the amber color while retaining the vanilla, oak, and dried-fruit character developed during aging. The result is a smooth, versatile tequila that drinks like an añejo but pours clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, light oak, and soft agave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and clean — vanilla, toasted oak, and gentle agave sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and medium with warm vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hornitos, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico (est. 1950)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Añejo Cristalino Tequila (charcoal filtered)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 1 year in American white oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anejo\"\u003eañejo tequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a cristalino tequila?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cristalino is an aged tequila (here, an añejo) that has been filtered — typically through activated charcoal — to remove the amber color from barrel aging while keeping the flavors developed during maturation.
