1800 Tequila has introduced the new ultra-premium expression 1800 Cristalino, a clear and complex sipping tequila that merges both the visual and the sensory.

As the latest category definition within tequila, Cristalino is a smooth, deep tasting and crystal clear sipping spirit for tequila-lovers who appreciate complex añejos. Unlike any other product on the market, 1800 Cristalino starts with 1800 Añejo’s 200-year-old recipe. First aged for 16 months in both new American and French oak barrels, the liquid is then married together and uniquely finished in port wine casks for an additional six months, something that no other tequila brand has done.  Finally, the liquid is transformed into a smoother, crystal clear and more complex añejo tequila, with primary aromatic notes of balanced roasted wood, as well as tasting notes of caramel, honey, vanilla and porto wood.

Similar to precious gems, 1800 Cristalino uses raw, natural materials that transform through time, pressure, craftsmanship and care.
Cristalino’s liquid journey of premium ingredients and distillation is described through the 4 Cs (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity).

Carat–just as a jewel’s weight denotes value, 100% blue Weber agave is harvested by expert jimadores when it has reached the best conditions of maturity, yielding a greater concentration of sugars and flavors,and ultimately increasing its merit.

Cut–most commonly mistaken for the shape of a gem, cut actually refers to the symmetry and polish which affects how a gem interacts with light. Cut is crucial to the final beauty for the wearer, whereas tequila distillation is critical to the final taste for the drinker.

Color–absorption of transition metals give precious gems their colors during formation, while 1800 Añejo darkens as it matures in both new American and French oak barrels for 16 months, and then married together and finished in port wine casks for an additional six months.

Clarity–clarity is the visual appearance of a diamond and a flawless diamond has no imperfections. After 1800 Añejo goes through a careful filtering process, it transforms into 1800 Cristalino, a flawless, smoother and crystal clear sipping tequila. As a prestige offering from the brand, 1800 Cristalino is packaged in an elegant, light-catching 750ml luxe cut glass prism bottle and is available for $65.00 on ReserveBar and Drizly. 1800 Cristalino can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails.
