Añejo tequila filtered crystal clear. The richness of an aged tequila with the freshness of a blanco.
We stock Don Julio 70 because cristalinos are what a lot of tequila drinkers are falling for right now, and this was one of the first. It's smooth, lightly sweet and very easy to sip on ice. It's a great choice for people who find aged tequila too heavy but blanco too sharp.
Tastes like: vanilla, toasted oak, honey and fresh agave.
How to drink it:
- Over ice, with a twist of lime
- Tequila soda: 50ml over ice, topped with soda and lime
- Neat, well chilled

For the agave nerds
- Made by: La Primavera distillery, founded by Don Julio González in 1942 in the highlands of Jalisco.
- Agave: 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested at 5 to 7 years old.
- Cooking and extraction: Piñas steamed in traditional masonry ovens for about 48 hours, then milled to release the sweet juice.
- Fermentation: A house yeast strain, for about 26 hours.
- Still: Double distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper.
- Ageing: Añejo aged at least 15 months in American white oak, then charcoal filtered to bring back the crisp agave of a blanco. Named for the 70th anniversary of Don Julio's tequila making.
Why it tastes like this: Steaming the agave slowly in masonry ovens keeps it sweet and clean. The longer a bottle sits in ex-bourbon oak, the more vanilla, caramel and toasted wood it picks up.
