Los Muertos Tequila Cristalino + 2 Gläser

Los Muertos Cristalino is a 100% Blue Weber tequila built on a rested reposado base that is charcoal filtered back to clear, so it keeps barrel sweetness while looking crystalline. The bottle design draws on Día de Muertos imagery, and the set ships with two engraved Riedel tasting glasses. It is distilled and matured by master distiller Alvaro and bottled at 35%, the floor for tequila.

The base is a 100% agave tequila distilled in small batches on a pot still. Maturation in American oak, partly previously seasoned with bourbon, gives vanilla, caramel, nuts and chocolate, and the cristalino filtration then strips the colour and softens the oak grip. The nose is mild with caramel and almond over gentle agave, the palate balanced toward toffee, vanilla and chocolate with light dried fruit and ripe banana, the sweetness restrained, closing on toffee and almond.
