This particular tequila is an extra-aged, crystal-clear expression of the brand's signature Sangre Altena Anejo tequila, which is made using only the finest blue agave plants grown in the Jalisco region of Mexico.
The tequila is aged for a minimum of three years in American oak barrels, which gives it a rich and complex flavor profile. The extra aging process also gives the tequila a deep amber color and a smooth, velvety texture.
After the aging process, the tequila is then filtered through activated carbon to remove the color and any impurities, resulting in a crystal-clear liquid that retains all the flavor and aroma of the aged tequila. The result is a tequila that is smooth and refined, with a complex flavor profile that is both sweet and spicy.
On the nose, Sangre Altena Extra Anejo Cristalino is full of rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, with just a hint of agave. On the palate, the tequila is smooth and velvety, with flavors of sweet agave, honey, and cinnamon, followed by a subtle hint of pepper on the finish.
