This Cristalino is created using Authentico’s Reposado tequila. It’s then filtered and no additives are used. This is one of the few additive free Cristalinos. The tequila is clear in the glass and it has nice legs and tears that form. The nose is very soft and clean. There’s a light floral note that sits at the bottom. This is an interesting sip. Up front I get some natural sweetness from the agave but not much flavor. Then on the mid palate some light floral flavor starts to arrive just before some light pepper. Overall I’d say that this tequila is smooth! The Reposado is light but flavorful but once it’s put through the natural filtration process it becomes absolutely smooth. It’s clean and tastes additive free. Anyone can sip this Cristalino neat! It also has a very affordable price tag. My score isn’t indicative of this being a sub par product. It just isn’t scoring well for my personal preferences. There aren’t any flaws detected.
