Description
Grown at 7,000 feet above sea level, each Avión agave takes between seven and ten years to fully grow. Once mature, the agaves are harvested and roasted in brick ovens for 72 hours, which brings out the naturally sweet flavors of the plant. Avión is twice-distilled, with the heads and tails of the resulting distillate being removed to focus on the heart — this labor-intensive process means that up to 30% more agaves are used in making Avión than in other ultra-premium tequilas. Once the distilling is complete, Avión is slow-filtered to showcase the hard work and high-quality, artisan ingredients that have gone into making the tequila. Avión Reserva Cristalino is a blend of añejo tequila with a touch of extra añejo. The expression is meticulously filtered, resulting in an extra smooth drinking experience and crystal-clear spirit, despite being crafted with aged tequila. Crafted with agaves from high elevations, it’s a showcase of bright agave notes with a layer of complexity with notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, agave, as well as earthy and mineral touches.
