Hornitos® Tequila has announced the launch of new Hornitos Cristalino. Hornitos Cristalino is a 100 percent blue agave tequila that is aged and filtered to produce a smooth and crystal clear añejo. The company says its “the first of its kind to be made available in the premium category.”
Hornitos Cristalino starts as a triple-distilled añejo tequila, aged at least 12 months in traditional American white oak casks, before undergoing a unique process that filters and gently stirs the spirit to uncover the herbal, fresh, agave forward notes typical of a Plata tequila. This process maintains the complex character and sweetness derived from barrel-aging and thus achieves a more balanced and rounded profile. The final product produces honey and floral notes, with distinct vanilla and butterscotch flavors wrapped in toasted wood.
Beam Suntory is supporting the launch of its new tequila with a marketing campaign, “A Shot Worth Taking,” which debuted on Mexican Independence Day.
