PATRÓN Tequila just debuted a new additive-free expression: PATRÓN CRISTALINO.
This smooth and sweet tequila is crafted with 100% Weber Blue Agave, water and yeast, according to the company. PATRÓN CRISTALINO uses both the roller mill and Tahona methods to extract the agave, and wood vats to ferment the liquid in small batches at Hacienda PATRÓN in Jalisco, Mexico.
Maturing in four different casks for 12 to 15 months, Master Distiller David Rodriguez and his distilling team then filter the aged Añejo through wood charcoal to give the tequila a clear appearance. This process retains the flavor and smoothness of barrel aging while keeping the tequila colorless, the company states.
“As a brand with a rich heritage of redefining standards, we’re especially proud that PATRÓN Tequila will once again elevate the expectations for Cristalino tequila, combining centuries-old Mexican craftsmanship with a modern, forward-thinking approach,” shared Samantha Newby, PATRÓN Tequila Global Vice President, Innovation and Sustainability, in a news release. “Innovation is seen in every part of PATRÓN CRISTALINO, from its smooth taste to its unique bottle design, which features a beautiful piña pattern. This new-to-world packaging was inspired by the natural beauty of Mexico and the finest 100% Weber Blue Agave – a core ingredient. We’re committed to showcasing the very best of this exciting category and what’s possible when tradition meets innovation.”
PATRÓN CRISTALINO is available now in retailers across the U.S. at an SRP of $79.
