Partida Cristalino Añejo Tequila Review
The only cristalino on this year’s list, Partida’s is an 18-month añejo aged in ex-bourbon barrels before undergoing charcoal filtration to obtain, as the brand claims, the “clarity of the diamond.” (OK, slow down.) There's the head-trip of a tequila grassy on the nose, but barrel-rich on the palate with notes of vanilla, honey, and German chocolate cake, all of it going down like bottled water.
