Another Cristalino that disappoints. Perhaps it’s me just liking aged cooked agave. The notes here were dried fruit. I do like Herradura Anejo and thinks it over delivers. Not the Cristalino. I guess there should be a distinction between the two and there definitely is.

This cristalino is a decent tequila. I’ve had both the Mexico version(35% ABV) and the one that’s sold in the US(40% ABV). Both are very, very smooth. Almost too smooth, if that makes any sense. I don’t like sweet tequilas and this one is already kind of sweet from the blending of extra añejo with Añejo, unfortunately it’s made even sweeter with the addition of agave syrup. Like most cristalinos, most if not all of the agave has been stripped away with the necessary filtration to make it clear. It’s overpriced for what it is, but it’s definitely popular with the casual drinker due to the ease of drinking.

Faint smell but very confectionary, reminds me of those pill shaped candies that cheap people would give you at Halloween. Tastes like cake with too much vanilla in it, not entirely off putting but devoid of any balance. The finish is a surprising success considering the parts, it fades away nicely and leaves a warm sensation on your tongue. I can see this being really popular for this category.

Master, s Class/ Blind Tasting at La Cata

Very muted nose. Some mineral, musty odd notes. Flavor: Starts with an aspartame like vanilla flavor. Pepper and bitter perfume note. Finish: Artificial bottled vanilla.

Weird sweet flavour

Worst thing I've ever had the non-pleasure of experiencing... I keep a bottle at my house, just to show those what NOT to drink!

Why go through all the makings and then strip it down and add sweet Agave Syrup. Not true Anejo.

Tastes just like Nyquil... even after mixing into Margarita. Friend picked up wrong bottle so I thought I'd try it. Never again. I enjoy Herradura Silver though.

An affordable añejo cristalino. One of my favorite and go to. Great neat, on the rocks, with water & lime (sparking & still). A little sweet but also smooth with a nice finish.

Vanilla and sweet and artificiality thick

Very Sweet! Vanilla Flavor Stands Out

Some agave on the nose mostly vanilla and cake batter sweetness . Definitely additives with it being a cristalino . Very sweet on the palate glycerin and vanilla are used no really agave flavor .

Bday gift from Olivia in 2022

Consensus is NyQuil flavor

Too sweet

Very fake sweet. Additives for sure. Not a fan of this one

Clear like water. Layers of cooked agave, punctuated with butter, subtle hints of caramel and barrel spices. Has a touch of heat reminiscent of white pepper and cinnamon. Pleasant overall but not my typical style.

Agave mixed with nutty bubblegum flavour that I doesn’t really compel me to drink again.

nose - strong Carmel starting, then finishing with vanilla taste light carmel start, strong vanilla taste, sweet finish. not a strong alcohol taste. couldn't really taste the agave.

a sweet taste at the beginning and end. good to have 1 glass but I'd be scared of the head ache to come if I had multiple glasses because of the sweets.

I smell the agave nectar they added, as well as cooked agave and vanilla. I feel the burn of the alcohol and I taste the sweetness and vanilla

Vanilla butter cream frosting. Save for dessert.

Subtle notes of vanilla with a strong vanilla/sweetness finish. Tastes a bit artificial
