Penta Tequila Diamante Reposado Cristalino: The Diamond of Clarity and Aged Brilliance
Discover the radiant purity and refined complexity of Penta Tequila Diamante Reposado Cristalino. This exceptional spirit is a shining example of innovation in tequila, perfectly blending the mellow, nuanced flavors of a barrel-aged Reposado with the pristine, jewel-like clarity of a Blanco. The "Diamante" (Diamond) in its name reflects its striking transparency and superior quality, positioning it as a true gem in the Cristalino category.
Penta Tequila Diamante begins its journey with 100% Blue Weber Agave, meticulously sourced from the fertile red earth of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens (hornos) to unlock their deep, authentic flavors. Following fermentation and a precise double distillation in stainless steel pot stills, the tequila embarks on its unique aging process. It is rested as a Reposado for 6 months in American white oak barrels. This careful maturation period allows the tequila to develop a rich golden hue and a beautiful spectrum of vanilla, caramel, and subtle oak notes. To achieve its dazzling, diamond-like clarity, the aged Reposado then undergoes a meticulous charcoal filtration process. This innovative step delicately removes the color imparted by the oak while diligently preserving the rich, nuanced flavors and aromas developed during its rest, resulting in a tequila that is disarmingly smooth and complex. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Penta Tequila Diamante Reposado Cristalino is an additive-free spirit, inviting connoisseurs to experience true agave expression in its most brilliant and refined form.
