Review: Tuyo No. 1 Tequila Blanco Cristalino
Tuyo is the world’s first complete line of only Cristalino tequilas. Each is sold in a beautiful 375ml Swarovski crystal bottle. Tuyo translates to “yours”. Celia Maestri developed Tuyo at Casa Maestri. It is made from 100% agave grown in both the highland and lowland regions. Each of their four expressions are aged in 10 year old bourbon barrels. Tuyo No.1 Blanco for 30 days, Tuyo No. 2 Reposado 6 months, Tuyo No. 3 Anejo 16 months, and Tuyo No. 4 Extra Anejo 3 years. They are carbon filtered and refined before bottling. Today we are reviewing Tuyo No. 1 Tequila Blanco Cristalino. The aroma leads with cooked agave and tropical fruit. Additional time brings out lemon, orange, pepper, and anise. The sweet agave entry is joined by herbal notes building to an orange peak. It fades with cooked agave and orange sherbet and finishes with tangy orange, spice, oak, and pepper.
