The hints of coconut really deliver a calm sipping tequila. Also no harsh after taste.

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.

How this tequila is rated so low by the panel is beyond me. Perhaps its the addition of agave that they deem sacrilege. It has a great profile with a slight vegetal backbone to satisfy the purists while giving an appetizing palate of sweetness and flavor from the virgin oak that it rested upon. A good value and versatile super premium that can be sipped or mixed.

delicious. i'd like another!

Aromas of raw agave, vanilla, caramel and oak. Tastes like the nose, super smooth, with a long finish

Many flavors to savor! Very sweet with hints of vanilla and caramel, but really gets you with it's earthy, almost floral smell and flavor. This is what I imagine liquid agave tastes like. Very unique. By far my favorite sipping tequila!

This is a tequila you could easily sip all day. Reasonably smooth finish. Notes of vanilla and Carmel. I drank it straight up. Would be excellent shaken over ice.

Overall not super impressive. Was looking for something to sip and this was not as smooth as I hoped for. Flavor is good, aroma too, but has more bite than I wanted in an evening drink. Would have no problem pulling on this with food , but as a stand alone evening sipper, I was disappointed.

My go to Tequila

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.

Good taste but a little harsh for my pallet

deliciously sweet and smooth

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.

Smells sweet, soft and inviting. Fresh, maybe tangerine on the end? A bit minty on the end but fades nicely.

Extremely smooth and strong vanilla and Carmel flavor.

Chocolate to me

Sweet finish

Heavy sweet syrup for the aroma. Taste and finish are ok to good. Not much going on.

Good tequila it’s solid. The finish isn’t the smoothest but it’s a nice treat

Smell light herbal fruty smell. Not over powering of wood at all like some añejos. Taste is incredibly sweet. Toffee and caramel followed by vanilla and honey. The finish is smooth and not astringent at all. The value is okay considering it is actually a blend of two añejos -- Herradura Añejo and Herradura Selección Suprema which is an extra-añejo. the product is post filtered. So the color is removed but the smoothness remains.

Master, s Class/ Blind Tasting at La Cata

Very prevalent vanilla flavor and aroma. A good choice for non tequila drinkers

You don’t get the typical tequila smell with this one. Lots of fruity and sweet notes. Flavor wise, it’s just way too sweet for me. The over powering taste of vanilla is just over the top.

Serve chilled

Very complex, lots going on Nice sweet finish, love the butterscotch
