Severo Tequila Añejo Cristalino: The Uncompromising Purity of Aged Perfection

Discover the refined elegance and exceptional craftsmanship of Severo Tequila Añejo Cristalino. This remarkable spirit is a testament to the pursuit of perfection, seamlessly blending the rich, complex flavors of a meticulously aged Añejo with the stunning, pristine clarity of a Blanco. Severo Tequila, crafted by Master Distiller Gerardo Mendoza at NOM 1477 (Destiladora del Valle de Tequila), is renowned for its commitment to traditional methods and uncompromising quality.

Severo Tequila Añejo Cristalino begins its journey with 100% Blue Weber Agave, harvested at peak maturity from the high altitudes of Jalisco. The agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens (hornos) for 72 hours, a process that extracts the deepest, most authentic agave flavors. Following fermentation with proprietary yeast and a meticulous double distillation in stainless steel pot stills, the tequila is then aged for a minimum of 14 months in American white oak barrels. This extended maturation period imbues the Añejo with a beautiful golden hue and a complex array of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and toasted wood notes. To achieve its dazzling clarity, the aged Añejo then undergoes a precise 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 long rest. Bottled at a classic 40% ABV (80 Proof), Severo Tequila Añejo Cristalino is an additive-free spirit, inviting connoisseurs to experience true agave expression in its purest and most refined form.
