Review: Avion Reserva Cristalino
Avion Reserva Cristalino was introduced February 2022. With an MSRP near $150 its safe to call this an ultra premium tequila. Avion was founded in 2010 by Ken Austin and the tequila enjoyed immediate success as Avion was featured in a story line on the HBO series Entourage. Avion was acquired by Pernod Richard in 2018. Avion starts with 100% agave grown for 8-10 years at 7000 feet in Jesus Maria, Jalisco Mexico by the Lopez family, fifth generation agave farmers. The hand selected agave is slow roasted at low temperatures for 3 days in traditional brick ovens to protect the natural agave flavor. The juice is open air fermented without fibers and double distilled. After a proprietary ultra slow filtration that takes 10 times longer than most, the spirit rests in American Oak barrels. Avion Reserva Cristalino is a unique blend of their finest anejo barrels with a touch of extra anejo. The tequila is double charcoal filtered prior to bottling. Read more
