Cristalino Añejo Tequila | 1800 Tequila
Overview
1800 Cristalino is an añejo tequila that has been charcoal filtered after aging to strip its colour while preserving the flavour and complexity built up in the barrel. The result is something genuinely interesting: a tequila with the depth and smoothness of a well-aged añejo, presented in a crystal-clear liquid that drinks with the elegance of a premium blanco.
Cristalino as a category is still relatively new, but it has found a strong following among drinkers who want aged complexity without the weight of a dark, heavily oaked spirit. 1800's take on the style is polished, accessible, and notably smooth — a bottle that earns its premium placement on the shelf.
The Distillery
Produced under the Jose Cuervo family portfolio at NOM 1122 in Jalisco's Tequila Valley, 1800 Tequila brings the same infrastructure and consistency that underpins the Silver and Reposado to this more refined expression. The Cristalino represents the top of the standard 1800 range — a step up in process, complexity, and price point that reflects genuine additional craft.
The charcoal filtration process is carefully managed to remove colour without stripping the character that makes añejo aging worthwhile in the first place. That balance is where most cristalinos succeed or fail, and 1800 lands it well.
Why We Recommend It
At Bourbon Brothers, we recommend 1800 Cristalino for customers who want:
- The complexity of an añejo with a lighter, cleaner presentation
- A premium sipping tequila that won't overwhelm
- Something a little different for guests who think they don't like aged tequila
- An elegant gift bottle with strong shelf presence
It also works beautifully in premium cocktails where you want aged depth without the colour and weight of a traditional añejo darkening the drink.
Production & Craftsmanship
| Agave | 100% Blue Weber Agave |
| Cooking | Combination of traditional and modern methods |
| Extraction | Roller mill |
| Fermentation | Controlled fermentation |
| Distillation | Double distilled |
| Still Type | Combination of copper pot and column stills |
| Additives | Produced to commercial standards |
| Aging | Añejo — minimum 12 months in American and French oak barrels |
| Filtration | Charcoal filtered post-aging to achieve crystal clarity |
The añejo aging lays down vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and a gentle spice before filtration removes the colour and some of the heavier oak notes — leaving a tequila that is genuinely smooth and sophisticated without being flat or one-dimensional.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Vanilla cream, toasted oak, dried stone fruit, light caramel, and a subtle floral lift.
Palate
Silky and smooth — vanilla, butterscotch, dried apricot and fig, gentle spice, with a rounded agave sweetness underneath.
Finish
Long, warm, and clean — lingering vanilla and soft oak that fades gracefully without any harsh edges.
What Makes This Tequila Special
100% Blue Weber Agave Minimum 12 months oak aging Charcoal filtered for clarity Añejo complexity, crystal appearance Double distilled Jose Cuervo family portfolio
How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the complexity open up gradually. Its crystal clarity and smooth profile also make it an exceptional base for a Cristalino Margarita or a premium Tequila Old Fashioned where the aged character can shine without muddying the drink. If you're sharing a bottle with guests who are newer to tequila, serve it chilled and neat — it tends to convert people quickly.
