Volcán Cristalino is a blend of añejo aged in American whiskey casks and extra añejo from Hennessy’s Cognac barrels, filtered clear — the LVMH connection put to use. Volcán de Mi Tierra is Moët Hennessy’s tequila — a 50/50 partnership with the Gallardo family of Jalisco — made at Agrotequilera de Jalisco, NOM 1523, at the foot of the Tequila volcano, with the profile created by maestra Ana María Romero Mena. The Cristalino is 75% lowland agave slow-roasted forty-four hours in masonry ovens and 25% highland agave from autoclaves, fermented with champagne and rum yeasts in wood and stainless, double-distilled, aged as añejo in American oak whiskey casks and as extra añejo in ex-Cognac European oak from Hennessy, blended, charcoal-filtered to remove the color, and bottled at 40% ABV, additive-free — no abocantes. Best Tasting Spirits documents the two-cask blend. Expect a nose of cooked agave, vanilla, honey, and a faint Cognac-cask fruit, opening into a silky, gently sweet palate of agave, caramel, dried fruit, and light oak with a clean, long finish and no color to give the age away. Honest note: cristalino divides purists, and this is one of the few made without additives from real Cognac wood — the chilled sipper for the drinker who wants añejo depth, Hennessy pedigree, and a clear glass. Chilled, neat, or in a Cristalino Margarita. Volcán, clear.
