Doña Mariana
Alacran Cristal Añejo
Alacran Cristal Añejo is a tequila aged in oak and filtered to remove color. This Jalisco spirit from NOM 1416 uses Tequilana agave cooked in an autoclave. It presents vanilla, caramel, cherry, and chocolate notes alongside light wood. Herbal and earthy tones emerge on the nose with a soft creamy texture. The finish is short yet smooth, concluding with a lingering sweetness that some find cloying and others describe as delicate. This clear presentation balances sweet oak influence with subtle agave characteristics in a distinct style that defines its unique profile among cristalino spirits.
