Cazadores Cristalino Añejo Tequila is a refined expression that bridges tradition and modern craftsmanship. Made from 100% blue weber agave, this tequila begins as a classic añejo, aged in American oak barrels to develop its complexity. It then undergoes a charcoal filtration process that strips away the color while retaining the rich character of an aged tequila, resulting in a crystal-clear spirit with smoothness and depth. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
