Over-sweetened Kool Aid or Fun Dip come to mind…grape Jolly Ranchers. Overall, “icky” is the general vibe. I am not an expert by any means about this spirit but even I in my fledgling educational state know that this is *not* how tequila of quality is supposed to taste. I hate wasting money (especially since this brand is so overpriced for what it is…in my defense I bought this bottle before I knew the difference) so I’m using it as a mixer but the fake sweet flavors are still coming through. Oof.

it is a mouth full of butter.

It doesn’t smell as bad as the regular rep not as sweet. Really strong alcohol finish. Overall very bland. No real presence of agave, depth, just blah.

Tastes like water with a kick at the end.

Sweet aroma, vanilla, cotton candy, cooked agave. Sweet flavor, vanilla, black pepper with lasting burn. Bitter aftertaste. Would not recommend.

Cristallino is the most un-authentic thing you can do to agave. Sad to see this trend. Hoping for more jovens.
