LOS RURALES CRISTALINO High Proof: A Bold Elixir for the Discerning Palate
This tequila cristalino high proof is a striking paradox. A spirit that marries the refined elegance of aging with the unapologetic fire of elevated alcohol content. Crafted for those who seek intensity, it defies expectations, offering an experience that is as complex as it is potent.
APPEREANCE: Crystal-clear and luminous, its pristine clarity belies the depth of its aged character, a visual tease of the boldness within.
AROMA: The nose is an immediate wake-up call—pungent, high-proof cooked agave waves mingle with rich, caramelized agave, toasted oak, and hints of vanilla or dried fruit. Beneath the heat lies a whisper of spice and earth, a nod to its barrel-rested origins.
TASTE: On the palate, it’s a volcanic burst of flavor. The agave’s sweetness collides with charred oak tannins, while notes of black pepper, dark chocolate, or burnt citrus peel emerge. The high proof amplifies every element, creating a dense, almost chewy texture that clings to the tongue.
Why It’s Not for Everyone: This is no casual sipper. The aggressive alcohol punch and layered intensity can overwhelm those accustomed to smoother, diluted, full of additive spirits. It rewards patience. Best enjoyed neat, cooled below room temperature with the volcanic cube (ice cube included) to tame its vigor, or by aficionados who savor its barrel-proof strength.
Distinction: Unlike typical cristalinos, which prioritize approachability, this iteration embraces its untamed soul. The filtration strips the color but not the soul—the oak’s influence and agave’s heart remain undiluted, creating a rare hybrid of purity and power.
Rurales are crafted for the bold, the curious, or the seasoned spirit hunter. This tequila cristalino high proof is a dare—a liquid manifesto of craftsmanship that refuses to compromise
