Tequila El Mayor Cristalino

agave, tobbaco, cigar ash, charcoal, oak, apple, butter popcorn, salted brownies, vanilla, cinnamon, creamy, little banana, pineapple, coconut, turkey, honey, whipped cream.

A nice woody and slightly smokey flavor. Pretty smooth too.

Not impressed. Perhaps the filtering just takes too much out for me, especially when compared to the rest of El Mayor’s line up.

El Mayor Cristalino is an excellent charcoal filtered anejo expression. On the nose we find a prominent vanilla component, with hints of butter, dry straw, sage, and bubble gum. The flavors are very complex with notes of vanilla, a medicinal licorice component, nuances of oak and caramel, and a spicy dry finish like that of cinnamon. It's not as crisp and fresh as other cristalino tequilas but is a high quality pour.
