Don Julio's Cristalino 70 is celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive taste, marking a significant milestone in the brand's history.
Crafted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Don Julio, this tequila combines the traditional aging process with modern filtration techniques to create a crystal-clear añejo tequila that retains the depth of flavor and complexity typically found in aged spirits.
Originating from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, known for its ideal climate and rich soil for growing blue agave, Don Julio 70 undergoes meticulous production processes. The blue agave used is hand-selected for quality, slow-baked, fermented, and then distilled twice. It's aged for 18 months in American white oak barrels before undergoing charcoal filtration, a method that removes the color while preserving the tequila's rich flavors and smoothness.
Tasting notes for Don Julio 70 Cristalino highlight a crisp agave flavor at the forefront, with sweet, slightly fruity characteristics. Vanilla notes are prominent, adding a layer of complexity and sweetness. The finish is warm and smooth, with a balance of sweetness and warmth that lingers, inviting another sip. The smoothness of this tequila, akin to a Blanco, makes it exceptionally approachable.
When serving Don Julio 70, it's recommended to enjoy it in its simplest form initially, allowing the tequila's quality to shine through without any mixers or complex cocktails.
For a special touch, it can be paired with a slice of orange and a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance its natural flavors.
Utilizing a large ice cube rather than crushed ice is suggested to prevent dilution and maintain the integrity of the tequila's flavors!
