Tres Generaciones Añejo Cristalino Tequila – 80 Proof (40% ABV) | 750ml

Smooth, refined, and elegantly clear, Tres Generaciones Añejo Cristalino Tequila combines the richness of aged tequila with the clean appearance and polished character of a cristalino. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this triple-distilled tequila offers layers of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and gentle spice before undergoing filtration to achieve its crystal-clear appearance.

Process & Aging

Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, Tres Generaciones Añejo Cristalino is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave selected for maturity and flavor.

A defining characteristic of Tres Generaciones is its triple-distillation process, designed to create the smooth and refined character associated with the brand. Following distillation, the tequila is matured in oak barrels to develop the richer vanilla, caramel, spice, and wood notes associated with añejo tequila.

After maturation, the aged tequila undergoes a filtration process that removes its natural amber color while preserving much of the complexity developed during barrel aging. The result combines the depth of an añejo with the brilliant clarity and smooth profile characteristic of cristalino tequila.

Appearance

Crystal clear with brilliant silver highlights despite its time spent aging in oak, reflecting the filtration process used to create its distinctive cristalino presentation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and subtle fruit are complemented by gentle baking spices.

Palate: Smooth and polished with layers of sweet agave, creamy vanilla, caramel, subtle oak, light fruit, and warming spice carried by a silky mouthfeel.

Finish: Clean, smooth, and lingering with notes of vanilla, sweet agave, caramel, gentle oak, and subtle spice.

What Makes It Special

Tres Generaciones Añejo Cristalino stands apart through the combination of 100% Blue Weber agave, triple distillation, barrel maturation, and cristalino filtration.

Rather than presenting the tequila with the traditional golden-amber appearance of an añejo, filtration removes the color acquired during barrel maturation while maintaining the smoothness and flavor complexity developed through aging.

The result bridges two styles, offering the vanilla, caramel, and oak character associated with aged tequila alongside the clarity and polished profile that have made cristalino tequila increasingly popular.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat, chilled, or over a large ice cube to appreciate its silky texture and balance of agave and barrel character. Its smooth profile also makes it an excellent choice for elevated tequila cocktails where a refined aged tequila character is desired.
