Still the best Cristalino I’ve run across, I like that it still maintains some of the agave profile in the nose. Scary smooth, this is the kind of bottle that gets drained without even noticing. Really sweet milk chocolate ending.

Nose: Citrus, pineapple and agave. Some cinnamon and licorice. Flavors: Vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, leather notes followed up with mellow black pepper. Borderline too sweet for me. I’m not generally a fan of cristalinos, but this might be the best of the genre.

Light, unremarkable aroma. Much stronger flavor and finish; oak, vanilla, caramel. Medium body with a smooth lingering finish.

Too much vanilla on the finish but not enough on the nose, not a big fan of the Clear añejos, no wood flavor on an añejo? The finish reminds me of Splenda aftertaste

Aroma is medicinal with hint of coconut.

Tastes very manipulated, odd, does not taste like you would expect a tequila to taste. I suppose that if you don't like the taste of tequila, that may be a good thing, but I'm not one of those people.

I really like the nose on this! Lots of vanilla, toffee and oranges without smelling cloyingly sweet. I pick up an herbal aroma, some wood and a hint of chocolate. Oak hits first for the flavor. Followed y cooked agave, herbal notes ... maybe chives or oregano? It is somewhat vegetal.. a bit bitter / astringent ...rather like parsley .. not unplesant but subtle. There are still lots of nice aged bourbon barrel notes. Some nice heat and flavor layering. Fortunately the filtering for making it a cristalino didn't remove all the flavor. It has a nice long pleasant finish. I like this!!

Still my favorite Cristalino. So smooth. Still holding on to some flavor, unlike Dobel.

Agave Vanilla

Cristalino sounds like a great nomenclature for marketing but this product just remind me a Mr. Softee cone. Excessively vanilla flavor and sweet. Hard to believe this spirit one day was an Añejo. Cristalino suena perfecto para una campaña publicitaria pero este producto me recuerda a los helados de maquina sabor vainilla. Dulcísimo y con semejante gusto es muy difícil de creer que, este licor algún día fue un Añejo.

Crisp and light. Perfect for summer days

Brings out the sweetness in the citrus notes of a classic marg.

Quizá no entendí el concepto, pero no encontré un sabor característico de los tequilas añejos. En lugar de encontrar tonalidades a barrica, aprecié algunas notas a pimientos que no fueron de todo mi agrado.

Loads of vanilla. Tequila purists will frown on this one but it’s unique and the sweet, vanilla forward flavor makes it an easy sipper.

Robust oak with smooth vanilla taste. a strong end in spices. mainly pepper. better balanced than other añejos of the same value. still too high in value for it's average taste

Cool bottle. Underwhelming for the price. Maybe I had too high of expectations.

My favourite Don!

Great sipping tequila. The finish is good, not too harsh with some heat.

Hands down best tequila I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. From initial smell to finish, so many great levels of satisfaction. Smells faint with a bit of floral in the back, initial taste brings up butter and chocolate then straight to bright fruit like lemongrass and peaches? Has a very soft leather and oak finish, maybe even corn. I will buy this whenever I see it. This is my Blanton's of tequila.

Delicious flavor, smooth with a slight alcohol burn. For the increase in price I would recommend but will stick with the regular Don Julio Anejo

Pepper, vanilla, slight caramel

Light vanilla,really light caramel,light paper,

It's different for sure. Vanilla on the nose and taste, peppery finish, little smokey. I would much rather drink 1942. Would drink again, but probably not buy.

Not a fan of Cristalino’s, it has its place in our Tequila market. If I had to like one, this would be it. It’s definitely different, smooth but I feel they strip the true flavors of an Anejo besides the color. I’ll stick with DJ Anejo or 1942

Demasiado perfumado
