Hornitos Cristalino Reserve Tequila
Hornitos Cristalino Reserve (40% ABV / $44.99 MSRP) is a crystal-clear Añejo tequila crafted from 100 percent Blue Weber agave, hand-harvested at peak maturity and aged in American Oak barrels. Hornitos Tequila's signature refinement process includes an extra distillation, enhancing clarity while preserving the nuanced complexity of an aged tequila. To elevate its profile, this tequila delicately rests with whole vanilla beans from Veracruz, Mexico, for 3 weeks, imparting a whisper of natural sweetness and a silky, lingering finish. The result is a Cristalino tequila that is both luxuriously smooth and intriguingly layered.
Hornitos Añejo Reserve Tequila
Hornitos Añejo Reserve (40% ABV / $44.99 MSRP) is a super smooth, triple aged, 100 percent agave tequila uniquely aged to deliver distinct and complex whiskey notes. This beautifully aged tequila is made with agave, water and yeast, and delivers a velvety, intricate blend of smoky vanilla and a touch of buttery caramel. The innovative triple-barreling process creates the rich and colorful flavor, as the tequila is uniquely matured in three different American Oak barrels: a toasted barrel, then a charred barrel and finally a specially toasted barrel to finish aging.
Hornitos Cristalino Reserve Tequila and Añejo Reserve Tequila are rolling out in select markets across the US now at MSRP $44.99 for a 750mL bottle at 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume), with expanded national distribution to follow.
