Partida Roble Fino Cristalino Tequila

Partida Roble Fino Reposado Cristalino Tequila is an innovative and unique expression within the Partida lineup. It begins as their Reposado tequila, which is aged for a period (typically around 6 months) in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels. What makes it special is the additional finishing period in ex-single malt, sherry-seasoned casks – the "Roble Fino" refers to this fine oak influence. After this double aging process, the Reposado Cristalino undergoes a natural filtration process to remove its color while ¹ retaining its defined body and complex flavors.  

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Presents inviting aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, and toasted oak, layered with distinct notes of dried fruits and a hint of nuttiness likely derived from the sherry cask finish. Some also detect subtle floral notes and a touch of citrus.
• Palate: Smooth and balanced on the palate, with flavors of cooked agave, caramel, and vanilla. The sherry cask influence contributes notes of dried fruit (like raisins or figs) and a subtle sweetness. The oak provides a gentle warmth and spice.
• Finish: Clean, crisp, and enduring, with the flavors of vanilla, oak, and a hint of sherry leaving a lasting impression.

Awards: While specific awards dedicated solely to the Partida Roble Fino Reposado Cristalino were not immediately available, the innovative nature and the quality of other Partida expressions suggest it is a well-regarded tequila. Keep an eye on future spirits competitions and tequila review platforms for potential accolades for this unique offering.

This tequila represents a modern take on aged tequila, offering the complexity of a Reposado with the clarity of a Blanco, enhanced by the unique sherry cask finish.
