Horrible as a Cristalino gimmick. Fake pine, vanilla, chocolate, fruit etc. An overly sugary finish... absolutely horrendous

Agave is pretty much lost in this tequila. Really sweet and fake vanilla flavor. That said, this is a good option for people who don’t consider themselves tequila drinks. It’s approachable.

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

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.

Most purists don’t like cristalinos and while I do prefer a more traditional tequila, I’ve got a soft spot for cristalinos. This one is the best I’ve had, it’s got good flavor, you get vanilla and a bit of subtle sweetness. Unfortunately, most of the agave flavor has been filtered out of this one. Is it still tasty? Yes, very much so. Just some of the flavors I enjoy are gone with this one(and most cristalinos).

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.

My go to tequila for fishmas. Perfect sipper for around a campfire. IMHO one of the most consistent Don Julio’s out there.

Starts off nice and has a smooth feel but quickly becomes harsh and the taste that it leaves is not as pleasant as I would hope coming from a pricey tequila

This is my "go-to" Tequila. It is light on the palate. Everything is light and muted, but in a great way. It is almost sweet. Definitely a sipper. I particularly enjoy this cold.

Perfume on nose. No agave notes, agave notes on finish

Fresh ground pepper, oily, and medicinal on the nose. Spicy, sweet cooked agave, and green vegetal on the palate. Woody in finish. Lingering lime rind.

Alcohol is overbearing, Cristalinos are a cool idea but simply make no practical sense. Poor sipper or solid mixer.
