Hornitos Cristalino Reserve 75th Anniversary Edition

100% Blue Agave Aejo | Triple Distilled | Rested with Veracruz Vanilla Beans | 40% ABV (80 Proof)

Process & Profile

Hornitos Cristalino Reserve 75th Anniversary Edition was crafted to celebrate 75 years of tequila-making tradition, honoring the brands founding in 1950. This special release begins as a triple-distilled aejo tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave. After extended aging in oak, the tequila is uniquely rested with whole Veracruz vanilla beans, giving it a naturally layered sweetness. Finally, it undergoes Cristalino filtration, transforming the spirit into a crystal-clear tequila that retains the depth and complexity of an aged aejo while delivering a refined, elegant finish.
