NOM 1137 | Not a big fan of Cristalino’s. Love Añejo’s, I find no reason to strip the color and some of the agave flavors. Definite additive. Cream soda nose, funky aftertaste. Some will like it for its “smoothness”

A little sweet

A pretty standard, smooth cristalino until the finish begins to arrive. Subtle, almost silky flavors linger and linger - almost, beguiling. What I can say it held its own with Montecristo #2 for the full hour!

Heavy caramel on the back end

NOM 1110 | I’m not a fan. Nose is additive sweet, no “tequila” notes Taste is too sweet Finish is terrible, the sweetness turns to a chemical like flavor And to top it all off it’s expensive

NOM 1110 Cream soda and vanilla dominate aroma and flavor. Not as cake batter sweet as Clase Azul, but definitely not natural. Would make an adequate substitute for Clase Azul, if you're into the pretty bottle syndrome. About $125, no thanks

NOM 1110 | I don’t lose the cooked agave which is surprising with the amount of butter cream / vanilla / butterscotch flavors. This seems like a great transition product to taste for someone who might be new to tequila.

NOM 1110 | Disappointing at best! Overpowering sweet vanilla flavor. Barely resembles tequila, more like a crap flavored vodka. Hard to finish my first pour regardless of its smoothness. Save your money

this isn’t bad but I hardly recognize it as tequila. It was particularly aromatic and sweet flavored. you want vanilla, caramel, pan dulce?! you got it.

NOM 1137 | Bottle is very elegant… besides that doesn’t portray the true essence of a tequila. Was intrigued by the cacao notes…

Spent way too much on a pour of this at a bar. Perfume-y and chocolate-y were the first things that came to mind upon smelling and tasting. This is the first cristallino I’ve tried and it’s nowhere near resembling what a traditional añejo (or tequila) tastes like. It’s sickly sweet and could easily pass for vanilla vodka or some other generic spirit. The price is the worst part. Its “smoothness” is really the only appealing trait I can find but it’s not even close to saving it. Please just save your money and buy a normal añejo instead!

NOM 1110 | Some floral, caramel, cooked agave and vanilla on the nose. The agave and oak comes through on the taste but something is missing. A little thin and the finish is not that pleasant. Not a big fan.

Interesting nose of subtle fruit. At first it's a bit sweet -- think light meringue -- and the finish is as smooth as you can get. No additives, the complex flavor is from being aged in oak wine barrels and then aerated in clay amphorea which makes it super soft and dangerously good.

NOM 1110 | Very smooth, no over powering flavors, light and drinkable.

NOM 1137 | Being my 1st Crystalino, I wasn’t really sure why to expect. The nose is strong chocolate, agave and slight alcoholic. Palate is sweet, vegetal hints and a strong chocolate & agave flavor with a slight peppery finish. The finish is clean, lingering agave flavor. A bit over priced, but worth a try if you get the chance.

NOM 1137 | Smooth. Cake batter on the nose. I’ve only had a few cristalinos and one of the best I’ve had.

Best Cristalino I've ever had.

Sweet roasted agave nose, mixed with sweet earthy nose. Touch saltiness hits on the side of jaws, little hint of ABV, subtle citrus, tannins & salinity, medium body. Long finish.

Tried this a while ago before it was on TMM. Not bad for a cristalino. Ver sweet smelling and sweet tasting. Pretty sure it has additives added after the filtration process. Virtually no agave presence on smell and slight on taste
