About Mijenta Cristalino
Mijenta Cristalino is a premium cristalino tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, produced by Mijenta at NOM 1412 distillery in Arandas. This 40% ABV (80 proof) expression starts as a reposado aged for eight months in unique Symphony Barrels made from American oak staves sourced from Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia forests, then undergoes thorough charcoal filtration to achieve crystal-clear clarity while retaining aged complexity. What makes it special is its balance of reposado richness and blanco-like versatility, overseen by Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero Mena, creator of the tequila aroma wheel, with no additives and sustainable practices using agave waste packaging. Ideal for sipping neat or elevating clear-spirit cocktails like martinis, it's for tequila enthusiasts seeking innovation beyond traditional categories and vodka drinkers wanting agave depth. At $79.98 for 750ml, it compares favorably to pricier cristalinos ($85-$100), offering superior balance over muted competitors, though some note lighter agave compared to Mijenta's Blanco or Reposado.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma is complex and inviting, featuring cooked agave, citrus, honey, maple, caramel, coffee, coconut, and toffee. Some detect lighter fruity notes or subtle metallic hints, but overall it's bright with vanilla and roasted agave prominence. Compared to unfiltered expressions, the nose is more muted yet elegantly balanced.
👅 Palate
Silky and sweet mouthfeel delivers waves of coconut, vanilla, maple, caramel, coffee, cooked agave, and citrus. Flavors transition smoothly from rich oak-influenced sweetness to fruity honey and agave depth, feeling balanced without domination. It's bright, flavorful, and easy-drinking, reminiscent of elevated joven or reposado with modest wood notes.
✨ Finish
The finish is lasting and medium-bodied, with lingering cooked agave, subtle bitterness, and silky texture.
