El Mayor Cristalino Añejo Tequila

El Mayor Cristalino Añejo is a modern expression of tequila that combines the depth of oak-aged spirit with the clarity and smoothness of a filtered finish. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, it begins as an añejo tequila aged for at least 12 months in American oak barrels, where it develops rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. After aging, the tequila undergoes a charcoal filtration process that strips away color while preserving its complexity, leaving a crystal-clear spirit with the refinement of maturity and the brightness of youth.

Bottled at 40% ABV, El Mayor Cristalino Añejo offers a polished yet vibrant character. The nose reveals sweet cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and light spice. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, delivering flavors of honey, roasted agave, oak, and a touch of citrus. The texture is velvety, with a clean and elegant body. The finish is long and refined, leaving behind sweet agave and lingering vanilla with a hint of spice.

This expression reflects the González family’s balance of tradition and innovation—honoring the heritage of tequila-making while embracing new techniques to meet modern tastes. It is crafted for sipping neat or over ice, where its clarity and depth can be appreciated, but it also works in high-end cocktails for those looking to elevate their drinks. El Mayor Cristalino Añejo stands as both a nod to heritage and a showcase of contemporary tequila craftsmanship.

On the nose, it opens with aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, and dried fruit layered with fresh agave.

Food Pairings

This Cristalino’s balance of richness and clarity makes it versatile for refined pairings. As a starter, enjoy it with tuna tartare, ceviche with citrus, or roasted vegetable bruschetta. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, roasted pork with pineapple salsa, or seared duck breast with honey glaze. With cheese, it pairs beautifully with aged manchego, smoked gouda, or creamy blue. For dessert, it shines with flan, dark chocolate truffles, or almond cake, where its caramel and spice notes elevate sweet indulgences.

El Mayor Tequila

El Mayor Cristalino Añejo is part of the modern wave of tequila that blends the depth of aged añejo with the polish and visual clarity of a blanco. It starts with 100 % blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco, aged in oak barrels for at least twelve months, then carefully charcoal filtered to remove color—so you get complexity without the barrel tint.

El Mayor is made by the González family, rooted in traditional tequila-making but embracing innovation. Their approach with the Cristalino line is to preserve the caramel, oak, vanilla, cooked-agave and spice notes that come from aging, yet deliver a spirit that looks clear and drinks smooth. It’s meant to be sipped, savored, yet still versatile.

El Mayor Cristalino strikes a balance: it satisfies the desire for aged character but also the clean elegance and brightness people increasingly enjoy. It’s not chasing extremes—it’s crafted for depth with clarity.
